Robert:

We went through a similar experience a few years back when there didn't seem 
to be a satisfactory replacement for good old (TOXIC) Plastic Wood.   

I have recently discovered, through the kindness of Nick Copolla, a material 
called MendAll that I have come to love in a very short while. It's much like 
Plastic Wood, It's a tad more difficult to use but gives wonderful results. It 
shrinks much less, if at all...

So now I have reason to work in more detail using the old methods I have 
become used to. 
It's tough making these kinds of decisions to rid ourselves of molds, etc. 

FWIW,
Fred T.
