What are you guys using for exterior filler on nail holes? I've been
trying to use the DryDex stuff, but if I don't get to priming the holes in a
suitable timeframe, the spackle seems to melts when it rains. Thanks.

I use paint-able white silicone seal.

Dynamic Dynapatch (from www.getpainting.com) works in this
environment. You can make your own trials of the various fillers
available locally.

Durham's Water putty works for me. Has to be mixed like plaster, but
not affected by rain. A setting type drywall compound would probably
work pretty well.

Crawford's painter's putty. Easy to use, lasts forever, comes in a can,
dries hard and sticks well, and is all-natural to boot. Available at
better building supply places everywhere.
