Filler(interior) for timber window
My 70+ yo house has two west facing timber windows. Each comprises two smallish sash windows separated by a large fixed pane. There has been some minor rot along the bottom rail of the large pane where it meets the glass (no doubt from condensation). A previous "fix" seems to have been the use of wood filler. This has now well broken down down and some further very minor rot has occurred. I have cleaned out the old filler and the rot and applied wood hardener. The "groove" is about 5mm wide x 5mm deep. There is still plenty of the rail left to provide a level.
I am seeking advice on what filler use. The windows have been stained but will now be painted.
Many thanks

The makers of Wood Hardener have their own "putty" or filler which from memory is suitable for exterior use.
