I have some teak woord with here and there around 1 to 2 cm diameter holes. When I use the wood in house I fill the holes with this white latex glue mixed with sawdust (sandpaper dust). That works fine.

However, for use outside this is not good enough I have experienced. Does anybody have an idea what I can use to fill the holes and will hold up in rain & sunshine? The stuff should be sold in Thailand of course.

Best regards and thanks for the suggestions.

Sorry "thatguy", but here my English is lacking. Could you explain what is a "bung". Thanks.

Like a hole in a wine cask is filled, a piece of wood the size of the hole is fitted.

Also sometimes called a Dutchman in some circles. Cut a small piece about the size of the hole, tapered so it goes in, cut flush on the "good" side, glued. You can also fill in with your sawdust and glue where it is not as perfect as you like.
