Re: A good filler
I've had good eperience using diatomaceous earth (swimming pool
filter
powder) as a filler. It's pure CaCO3 and the little shell shapes seem
to flow and hold better than grains or balls of other fillers. It's
cheap as well

I have to restore small areas of plywood that were removed due to
rot. And I would like your suggestion as to how I could go about
returning these areas to their original thickness and strength.
Something that I could use as a filler, that will sand well, hold a
screw/tack and be as strong as the original wood.
My first thought was to use good old resin and glass, and build it
back up...but if there is other ways I sure would like to hear em'.

returning these areas to their original thickness and strength.
Something that I could use as a filler, that will sand well, hold a

back up...but if there is other ways I sure would like to hear em'.
