Does anyone remember which issue, within the past several years, had an article about repairing an exterior window sill?
I know the author used borate and a dutchman.

this is driving me nuts!
I can't find this article.
Is this it?
March 2004Restoring Window Sashesby David GibneyYes, they're worth fixing. Those old windows were built better (and from better wood) than anything you can buy today.
A restoration carpenter argues that old windows are often worth saving, then provides detailed instructions for stripping, repairing, painting, and glazing the sashes. A sidebar offers tips for removing old sash.

No. Thanks for looking, tho.I already found that one. I wonder if I'm thinking of the wrong mag.This one was repairing the outside of the sill.
There was a guy talking about outside sill repairs a couple-three of years back (and I know he was working on an article), but he was using epoxy fillers -- no dutchmen.
