    I disagree, once the reason for the water penetration has been found and remedied the wood will rapidly dry out. Just get on and re-felt the shed. Don't waste money on fillers etc, a shed that size could be re-felted quite easily in a morning. even by a DIYer. Obviously, if you can let it dry a bit that would be good, but the main thing is to stop it getting any wetter. you are unlikely to achieve that using something out of a tube or with a paintbrush.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    You mean like a tarpaulin?

    It seems to me that doing a "temporary" fix would take nearly as long as doing it properly to start with, and without as much chance of success.

  • Get some bitumen and coat it in that, then felt over top.
