Re: Epoxy types.

That stuff has been around for nearly a century! It's great..... For interior applications. As someone else later has pointed out, and my experience is, it's a good cosmetic filler but it's hydroscopic and will deteriorate fairly rapidly if damp.My reaction is, don't waste time with it in C&TS applications unless you're dealing with painted interior stuff. I've shifted away from Durham's to the wood-filled wood filler products at the big box stores. They're somewhat more stable and somewhat more water resistant, although still not suitable IMO for exterior applications.

The polyester based wood hardeners are pretty cost effective for exterior repair and are compatible with things like.... (drum roll please....) BONDO! Which is also a polyester based material, and while not structural will hold up better in the weather.

Epoxys aren't really structural either, I wouldn't run screws into that stuff and expect it to behave like wood.
