​Replacing rotten wood may not be the best option when you can repair bad wood at a fraction of the cost of wood replacement. You can use a polyester filler to fix rotten wood. It can be molded and shaped to match the profile of the original wood. After the molded polyester filler has dried, paint the entire wood for freshness and prevention of further rot or decay.

Step By Step Wood Repair

​Rotten Wood Repair Procedure
Here is the step-by-step procedure to easily fix rotten wood with polyester filler
Step 1: Tape off surrounding areas for protection. Remove the rotten wood using a sharp object
Step 2: Coat the rotten area of the wood with wood hardener. Place a filler block 1st if needed.
Step 3: Mix polyester wood filler and use a puffy knife to fill the polyester into the wood.
Step 4: Carve the partially hardened filler with a puffy knife or chisel. Add layers of the filler until it levels up with the rotten wood. You may want to drag a wire brush through the patch when halfway dry to mimic wood grain.
Step 5: Smooth out the polyester filler by creating a form with plastic and pressing it against the filler to shape it appropriately. Use screws in the form to make the filler stay. Then, remove the screw after the filler has hardened.
Step 6: Shape the hardened filler with a rasp to make it smooth and conform with your area.
Step 7: Sand the surface of the filler to create a uniform appearance between the rotten wood and the filler. 
Step 8: Always prime the patch before painting. Epoxy is a "hot patch" that always needs primer.
