Floor On Pouch Needs Patching

[Sitting Bull]

On my shed pouch it has Marine Plywood and there is some cracks where the top layer has some wood missing and I would like to know what to fill them in with? After they are filled in I am going to put Cabot Stain on the floor, should I put a Primer on first?

The floor does see weather.

I would like to get this done as soon as possible for I live in Ohio and Winter is coming.

If you can tell me what I should use it would be very helpful for me. The stain is a solid color.

Welcome to the Forum, John:
I would use a plastic wood filler on the floor for durability and weather resistance. The solid color stain will cover it nicely and give you a smooth overall appearance.

Well u do have a good project going there, i would prime the whole porch area first in case water ever got into the holes wich you can fill with a wood putty non shrinking weather proof. There are companys out there that make wonderful products for all those needs. always make sure that you pick a product that can be stained as well as painted. Use a high quality primer. hope this helps.
