Thanks for this, all seems straightforward.
Would you use undersized pieces of wood then cover everything in repair care? Or should I get the wood as close to a good fit as I can then just fill the small gaps with repair care?
Edit - I watched a few videos and I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of how it works. I’ll aim for 10mm gaps between my new timber and the existing and finish the outer surfaces with epoxy ready for sanding/painting.

Based on what I can see from the photo it looks pretty decent.
Remove the beading completely and replace the whole pieces, not worth splicing anything in for the cost of complete pieces.
If you use repaircare you can just cut out any rotten wood and use soft or hardwood pieces to save on the resin. It's probably worth the price of the starter kit to splice some hardwood in with the resin.
Paint with Zinsser Aqua BIN primer and Allcoat. I tend to double up on primer/undercoat and top coat so 4 coats 2 of each.
