Hi,
Can anyone please recommend what they consider to be the best filler for exterior woodwork before priming and painting?
I need to repair or replace some soffits and fascias which look in reasonable condition from ground level, however, I will have a better idea when the scaffolding is up whether its repair or replace but if its repair then I would like to know the best filler to use. I think that I read somewhere on the forum that car body filler is good for this type of work so any recommendations for a product would be most appreciated.
Also, could anyone recommend a good make of paint for wooden soffits and fascias such as Dulux Trade Gloss or is a matt or vinyl silk paint better?
Finally, am I correct in assuming that a lighter colour paint such as white is more resistant to weathering as it reflects more heat than a darker colour such as black?
Rgds
