I have a couple of small areas of dry rot (that I know of --- I'll be doing more investigating over the summer to make sure I've found it all).
The rot was caused by leaks from the roof and in windows over a period of years. I've corrected those problems (new roof that sticks out a ways
, putting up awnings, etc.)
Now I want to tackle the dry rot. It's in 3-4 spots and is relatively small. I found this stuff, an epoxy for fixing wood:

and am sure there's a mess more like it.
I would much rather do this than cutting out the areas and replacing them. If these products don't work, however, I don't want to use them.
??? So the question is ... do they work? Or do i have to cut out and replace the dry rot?
