Abatron WoodEpox Kit - 12 oz - 2-Part Structural Epoxy Adhesive Filler - Wood Filler Putty

Best product ever~!You should use this for any wood work.This doesn't come with the resin, so make sure you get the package with the resin.You should apply the resin first so that this epoxy clay would stick strong to the wood.This is far much better than any other product.When completely dry, the hardness is really close to the wood and it is easy to sand and to get nice surface quality.

Fantastic! Abatron WoodEpox was an essential tool in restoring the 112 hand lathed spindles on our deck.The bottoms of most of the spindles suffered from rot and the harsh cold New England winters have caused many to crack and split. After repairing the rot with Abatron LiquidWood and filling with Abatron WoodEpox, the entire deck looks brand new.I am very impressed with this product. It drys rock hard, can be sanded smooth, and does not shrink and/or require a second application; even on large cracks. This stuff was a life saver for rebuilding corners and curved parts, it is very easy to sculpt, form, and work with. The price per ounce is high, I would recommend this product for repairing wood that has a high value or would be expensive to replace, for example each spindle on my deck costs $75 to replace, so WoodEpox was worth every penny essentially saving me $8400.TIPS: Knead the two parts together wearing surgical gloves - I found folding the parts together worked well. Once mixed it has a long working life, 15-20 minutes depending on the temperature; I was working in the hot summer sun. Keep this working life in mind, after 20 minutes or so it starts to become hard to work with and will crumble as you apply it. You will also want to keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol near by to clean your tools and smooth out your fills.

Easy to use with a fantastic finished look. The product is like the consistency of play dough once it is mixed. It stays where it is put and is easy to “mold” into the shape needed

Overall, it is a good product that drys into a very stable substance that is very hard, tool-able, and paint-able.But, it doesn't work like the traditional putties that I've used. It is not always easy to work , because of it's stiff , yet still pliable consistency.So, once I pressed it into the hole I was filling, it was difficult to trowel it down with a putty knife, in order to level it off to the hole's upper edge.So, since I didn't realize how hard it would be to level it with a putty knife, I ended up putting too much woodepox in the hole. Normally, I think most people would rectify this issue by aggressively sanding it down to the hole's edge, and the level of the the item being filled, but I was working in a very tight fitting area, which had no room for aggressive sanding. So, I don't recommend using this product in a very tight area, unless you don't care about how it will look, and just want a functional fill that does the job of keeping the area protected from the elements. And, I also don't recommend using this product in an area that is difficult to access with an electric sander, because if you put in in too high, then you're stuck with it being too high. On the flip side, it is easy to mix, and can be done by hand,. I spooned equal portions of part A and B onto a board, and then picked it up with my hand, and mixed it by hand , while wearing latex gloves. No accurate measuring is necessary, and eye- balling the equal proportions is adequate, and I've had no problems with getting the right amounts .. So , while mixing, and kneading it by hand, it is ready to use when there is a uniform color throughout, with no streaking that is caused by one of the parts not being completely mixed in. So, when it is uniform in color, and feels like a stiff, yet pliable clay , it is ready to be pushed into the opened area.. Overall, this material dries to an amazingly hard substance that looks as though it will last for years. But, learning how to work it, at least for myself, will take more practice.

Works well! Super strong!

This product is great if you need to match the profile of the non-rotted wood. I used it to repair the rotted wood corner of a door, which I thought would be impossible to repair without replacing the wood.It has a long work time, unlike some epoxies and is easy to sand, especially with a Drexel Multi-Max. You can shape it with tools. I actually used a paint stick and popsicle sticks to match the existing door edges.You want to make sure you mix the two parts well and is a solid tan color. If you don’t mix well, you won’t get a good cure and the stuff will crumble. Found that out on my first attempt using the product.It is expensive compared to other wood fillers, but the ability to work it really stands out. Bondo wood filler works well to fill large areas, but is better on flat surfaces because it sets up too fast and is too mushy to work before it hardens. QuikWood is easy to use and works well for filling holes, but much firmer so hard to use to match a profile. The non-epoxy wood fillers have not given me lasting repairs on exterior wood.The stuff also goes a long way. I’ve used the same small containers to make multiple repairs.You also want to make sure you use a wood hardener on the rotted wood (e.g. LiquidWood) to give the epoxy a firm surface to stick to. If possible, I drive stainless steel screws into the hardened rot into the fresh wood underneath, leaving the screw head and part of the screw out to give the epoxy more to adhere to and provide a stronger repair.

Used this to fix a rotted wood sill and corner trim piece damaged by water. Easy to work with, stays pliable long enough to form and worked perfectly to repel rain. Pretty pricey but cheaper than replacing wood, expecially on a second floor window!
