How are you going to finish the exterior? Paint, aluminum, stain?

I like Bondo because it hardens so fast and you can start sanding within minutes. Many have created different concoctions with sawdust and epoxy, microspheres and epoxy, etc. If paint is going on top, save yourself a lot of time and use Bondo.

I used the same as the TD was put together with, PUpremium, I have no fasteners in my TD except those needed to hold the box on the frame, and the door hinges. the adhesive is tough enough to tear the wood apart, and fasteners cause leaks/rot
