Exterior wood siding - use conservepoxy.com epoxy so it expands (for siding this is better than Minmax wood filler and Bondo wood filler)
Also use low toxic borate wood preservative - controls Fungi and termites.

Crack repair (from Kim Satchy, Fineline)
Create grooves whereever cracks. Mesh tape. 45 or 90 minute compound for first two coats
Use quicker drying mud for the first/second coats and the pre-mix (Joint Compound) for the final coats.
Finish with Joint Compound (a softer topping)

The faster drying ones sand harder than the slower drying ones. The 90 minute stuff is still very sandable, 45 is still doable, but you wouldn't want to sand the 20 minute stuff.

Water putty doesn't shrink, spackle shrinks.
 

PolyWhey Purchased at lifeandhome.com January 2015

Heirloom Wipe-On PolyWhey - For interior trim and toys - Less than Less than 30 g/L VOC!
PolyWhey Exterior Penetrating Wood Stain - Acorn Brown - For interior window ledges
PolyWhey® Natural Floor Finish (Not purchased yet)

When shopping for water-based sealers, look for a low-VOC product (less than 250 g/L). Many products achieve levels as low as 50 g/L. (If you must use a sealer containing glycol ether, propylene glycol and ethylene glycol are less toxic types.)

Add white vinegar to water to clean hardwood floor. Removes wax build up. (Recommendations range from one teaspoon to one cup per gallon.) 
Mineral spirits (smelly) can also be used to clean floor, removes wax but doesn't remove poly.

Favorite Primers (at Home Depot):
KILZ Premium Latex Primer Interior/Exterior Water Base
Grey for porch (thicker - smooths over holes)

Wood Filler
Apparently "3M all-purpose filler" is now Bondo All-Purpose Putty by 3M.
The prior "3M all-purpose filler" seemed a little smoother.
Going to try "
3M Bondo Wood Filler" for interior floor.

STAINS & SEALANTS

510 - Watco Danish Oil Finish - Natural - From Highland Hardware 2009
Clear - Stains, Seals & Protects (Probably use on 465 Oakland)
Sydney recommended using 10% if we want to avoid oil, but it seems good from shelf test.
Had us buy naphtha (# 610 below) as a way to dilute.
We were trying to avoid oil since others produced a shine on grain, but steel wool can remove shine.
Need to get a darker version for shelves.


520 - Minwax Wood Finish - Golden Pecan 245 - Can was downstairs
Light color similar to Honey - Penetrates, Stains & Seals

THINNER & CLEANERS

610 - Naphtha - Sydney suggested mixing this with the Danish Oil
