Wood Filler Siding Prep
When repainting your house, here's a way to restore that smooth original finish. After you've removed all loose paint and sealed the surface with a latex primer, use a water-based, exterior grade wood filler to fill in the rough areas that remain. With a four inch tool, spread an even layer of wood filler and smooth it out. When it's dry, lightly sand it, and apply a second coat the same way if necessary. When the surface is perfectly smooth, apply your finish paint.

" Hi, I'm Bob Vila from Home Again. When you're repainting your house, here's a way to restore that smooth original finish. After you've removed all loose paint and sealed the surface with a latex primer, use a water-based, exterior grade spackle to fill in the rough areas that remain. With a 4-inch putty knife, spread an even layer of spackle and smooth it out. When it's dried, lightly sand it and apply a second coat the same way if necessary. When the surface is perfectly smooth, apply your finish coat. I'm Bob Vila. Good luck with your home improvement project."
