I picked up a gallon of penetrating epoxy plus hardener from a marina store over in Kona near COSTCO.
Cost was about $150, if memory serves me.
I usually add a little of a solvent to thin it some more to get even better penetration.
A little strength will be lost, but it is not of concern in this application.
I've used it for replacing the roof on our spas' pergola as well as the small house roof repair I just did, and will be using it for replacing the roofs on our front and rear lanais.
More time consuming, but I will not need to disassemble and reinstall new rafters and other structural wood.
I may need to replace the fascia material.
We'll see when it dries out enough for me to start that phase of the project.
The rotted areas need to dry out before applying the epoxy.
I've used epoxy before to repair massive dry rot in cantilever beams with very good results.
These small rot pockets are a piece of cake in comparison.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
