[DIY] Fixing panel outside

[xiphrex]

Hi all,

I thought I would ask, maybe someone more knowledgeable has some ideas.

There is a wooden white panel underneath the kitchen window facing outside to the back garden. Over the years its been damaged by rain etc and needs re-painting white.

But there are uneven gaps now in the panel, it needs some sort of filler to make it all even again, then sand and then a fresh coat of paint. Maybe even seal it before painting with PVC?

However I have no idea what product to actually use that will withstand the harsh conditions of the outside. I tried using wood filler but the stuff I had was cheap stuff I bought long time ago from Wilko before they closed down.

Anyone recommend a product to basically skim it, ideally white colour?

Thanks!

If the underlying wood is sound (in order of price, longevity, and ease of use) you could use a water based wood filler like the one from Toupret, a two part filler like HB42, or go all out and use an epoxy filler although for what i assume is more a decorative panel that's probably overkill.

If the wood isn't sound you'll need to use a wood hardener before filling it
