        "text": "Wood filler is generally used for smaller imperfections, nail holes, and minor splits. It's often water-based, easier to sand, and dries faster but offers less structural strength. Wood epoxy, on the other hand, is a two-part adhesive that cures to a very hard, durable, and waterproof finish, making it ideal for larger, structural splits or exterior trim where greater resilience is needed. A Practical Tradeoff is that while epoxy provides superior strength and weather resistance, it's typically harder to sand and has a longer cure time than standard wood filler, requiring careful application.",
