Repainting the windowsills on an old house. Can someone tell me the absolute best kind of outdoor paint to use (latex or oil-based)? Also, the sills have deep cracks. What would you recommend to fill them?
Much appreciated!

Much appreciated!I would use a top quality latex paint. I would not personally bother
with a primer, just put on 2 or more coats of the latex.
Sherwin Williams would be my brand choice.
If the wood is not in too bad of shape I would use Durhams Rock Hard.
This stuff has been around for ever and is pretty inexpensive. 1lb. is
$3.20 on Amazon.

On a sound surface, I have used Benjamin Moore with great success...However this was over 30 years ago (formula may have since changed), and was holding up well up until I re-sided the house capped all my trim 3 years ago. Surface prep is the key...

lasting and very cheap. See recipes in

https://www.amazon.com/Donald-Durhams-076694000046-4-Pound-Rockhard/dp/B000LNS2LU?th=1I agree except for the primer. A good primer properly applied to a
properly prepared surface is a must if there is any bare wood showing.
Best, most long lasting paint I used on a problem window area was latex recommended by a guy that knew his stuff at SW store. I wanted oil base,
he talked me into latex and he was right.

Do you have freeze-thaw cycles? If the putty doesn't expand
and contract with changes in temperature at the same rate as
the wood, it will eventually fail.

To put this into perspective, Durham's not being water proof, NEITHER is WOOD.
I have never had an issue using it outside as long as both it and the
wood remained painted.

You made me curious about Durham's viability for general "exterior" use. >>> Below is a comment I obtained from Amazon Reviews of the product.
Perhaps it will be helpful to someone?

freeze-thaw areas. In that case, it is best to brush Water Seal on
the exposed area after it cures."

To put this into perspective, Durham's not being water proof, NEITHER
is WOOD.
I have never had an issue using it outside as long as both it and the
wood remained painted.
But, with all due respect, you don't see much snow where you live either.

the absolute best kind of outdoor paint to use (latex or

recommend to fill them?
Much appreciated!
I would use a top quality latex paint. I would not personally
bother with a primer, just put on 2 or more coats of the latex.
Sherwin Williams would be my brand choice.
If the wood is not in too bad of shape I would use Durhams Rock

Undrstood, but unlike substances will expand and contract at different rates. While we don't see a lot of snow we do see large temperatureI see what you are saying.. But the relevant issue is that water
swings in a relatively short period of time.. Not at all unusual to
see a 60 degree temp swing from one day to the next.
