Question about filler

We are about to the point of being ready to fill the screw holes that were made in the attaching of the roof of our TD build . . . but are extremely unsure as to what to use. Would simple exterior wood filler work?? As we plan to paint our TD.
Thanks!

Bondo's good. Cheap too. Wal-Mart even has it in the auto section...

If you are going to paint, you can use wood filler. Like the other posters, I used Bondo. It is easy to work into holes, and sands off smooth.
The only difficulty I have had with Bondo is that it sets up too fast in Texas summer temperatures. But, any other time, it works fine.

Casey; put it in the fridge for a few hours; it will slow down the reaction once mixed

What if you want to stain the fill? I have screw holes and seams in my 1/2" trim that i need to fill.

If you are trying to stain after the fact Minwax makes a furniture scratch repair marker. It is very much like any magic marker you have ever used but it is in 8-10 shades of wood. I was in the furniture business and you won't believe what you can repair from in store accidents.

Hey that's a good idea! I picked up some wood putty today. It says ints indoor outdoor and all that but said nothing about being able to paint or stain. But i bet your trick would work!
