How can I repair rotten wood?

The harsh / rainy weather here in Jacksonville Florida wreaks chaos on exterior wood. Repairing wood with polyester or epoxy filler can be done in three simple steps;

Apply the wood hardener: Remove wood rot with a sharp tool, spray the affected area with bleach to kill the WDO (wood destroying organism). Mix your wood epoxy and insert or apply to the decayed area. Create a profile with the epoxy material and press it into the recess with a knife as you smooth.

Shape and smooth: Hardened parts can be removed with a chisel or sharp knife and another layer added if needed. Once the patch is hard and dry, allow it to stand for 10-15 minutes.

Smooth and repair: Sand to form and give a blending effect. Since this is a "hot patch" prime the filled area and paint to blend with the surrounding areas. Keep in mind, some rotten wood repairs require 2-3 layers of filler.
