I prefer to use Builders Bog: it much more fluid and gets into the corners and holes much better. It's easier to form with a spatula too, plus it hardens to steel-like strength, which can be files or sanded easily into the shape you need.
It does often take 2 or 3 batches of bog to fill a large hole, however.

thank you for the tips, though i am not a handy man i was able to clean out some dry rot and use woodfiller on my daughter's house on a window sill. the previous owner had a tree growing up against the side of the wooden frame window. never a good idea.

i am using JB weld
In your first demonstration on the corner of the house, what is the reason why you don't just replace the trim? It appears like a lot of work and less cost-effective. But I don't know much about construction and would like to know why. Thanks.

Old growth wood (wood that from older trees) is denser and more rot resistant is better to leave on the building. Replacing it would mean most likely doing so with new growth wood. See the introduction video where Dennis & Mike talk about the difference between old and new wood.
