Will this strengthen the partially rotted tops of 4 x 4 red wood deck posts, fill the rot cavity, and firmly hold screws?

I have used this product and Minwax wood hardener. Minwax is the better product. It penetrates deeper and strengthen the wood. I wood follow up with an exterior grade wood filler to fill any rotted out voids then carry on with your fasteners.

I am a fan. However there is no way it can be sprayed on. it's very thick and i can't comprehend it being in a spray bottle. Think honey or syrup. As a handyman profesional I love this. I just did 3 days doing roof trim repair that had rot and carpenter ant damage. The fibers are loose like straw. this firmed them up enough for me to put in wood epoxy.

Chemically, what is this stuff?

Can this be used outdoors?

yes it can. I used it on exterior window trim.
