Fixing Decayed (Rotted) Wood

I have a hard time believing that drilling holes every inch and jamming epoxy in there is going to thoroughly perfuse the surrounding wood.

Replace would be ideal, at least for siding. They used some dreadfully bad materials for siding in 80s which isn't worth keeping

Terrible siding but in the appropriate climates, as long as it isn’t rotted, you can stucco over it. Smaller sections that have failed or rotted can be cut out and patched prior to attaching substrate for the stucco.

Replacing it.

Kind of a weird question though. Just because I question the efficacy of an approach doesn't mean I have a better one. Maybe the wood simply can't be fixed in place.

I know very little about restoration so I was trying to learn more. What was weird about the question?
