Abatron Wood Restoration 24 Ounce Kit – Includes 12 Fluid Ounces of LiquidWood Epoxy Wood Hardener/Consolidant and 12 Fluid Ounces of WoodEpox Epoxy Wood Filler

Used this to restore my mother-in-law's old wooden sign for their house. Has sentimental value so it was great to be able to do so. The resin made it waterproof and protects it against further rot while the paste was great for rebuilding the rotted parts and takes paint well so it could be matched.

I originally purchased the Abatron Wood Restoration Kit to help extend the life of an aging outdoor shed that had developed significant wood rot around the doorway, threshold, and lower framing. What started as a relatively modest repair turned into a fairly extensive restoration, and these products played a major role in making it successful. The LiquidWood was particularly impressive. After removing the actively rotted material and thoroughly cleaning the remaining wood, I used it to saturate compromised areas that were still worth preserving. It penetrated the wood well and cured into a solid foundation for subsequent repairs. The WoodEpox was equally useful for rebuilding missing sections, restoring damaged edges, and creating solid surfaces where replacement lumber needed to fit. It was easy to mix, shape, and work into irregular spaces, and once cured, it could be sanded and drilled much like wood. I especially appreciated having enough working time to shape repairs without feeling rushed. One thing I learned during this project is that these products work best when used strategically. I replaced extensively damaged structural sections with new lumber and reserved the epoxy for areas where preserving or reconstructing the existing wood made more sense. This combination produced a much more substantial repair than simply filling everything with epoxy. The kit isn’t inexpensive, particularly for larger projects, but the quality and versatility justify the price. It allowed me to preserve original wood, rebuild damaged areas, and correct problems that had contributed to years of water damage. After completing the repairs, priming, painting, and improving the drainage around the doorway, the shed is in considerably better condition than when I started. Long-term durability will take time to evaluate, but the cured repairs feel exceptionally solid. Highly recommended for anyone willing to take the time to properly restore damaged wood rather than simply cover up the problem.

Had a rotten corner on my deck fascia. Removed the rotten wood and applied the epoxy hardener. The result was impressive. The epoxy hardener had penetrated the area where applied and produced a hard surface to work on. I had waited several hours for it to dry. The filler was mixed and applied as directed. It was easy to work with as well and I let it dry over night. To reduce the high spots, I used my hand plane and it worked very well. It allowed me to put a sharp edge of the corner and required minimal sanding. I will definite purchase this product again.

Excellent product but expensive. Also the putty was much easier to work with than the competition. I bought some craft syringes from Amazon to get the epoxy deep into the cracked wood. When project completed it dried rock solid, so happy!

I had purchased this product from this seller November 22, 2016 but the 'leave a review' button is gone but I wanted to leave one now bc I just used the product:) So it took awhile for me to get the courage to do this project but today, I didn't think about it I just did it. I looked at the online videos a few times, read the instructs a few times and then got started. I'm repairing a wood floor from 1946 (I know this is original bc I've taken out a couple of walls and the floor was underneath and already stained). This was a previous doorway before someone else took out that wall. When I bought the house there was carpet down so I didn't know about it. Took out the carpet and HORRORS! I thought I would have to have the wood cut out and maybe put a perpendicular long piece in w supports under the floor etc. Research always gives more than one solution:) I found this and I knew I could do it and save a lot of $. When I got the Liquid Wood painted on I realized I didn't know when to put the Woodepox in... wait or immediate? So... I took a chance (it's Sunday), several ppl answered:). The seller gave me really good advice and the one following him in the post. 5-20 minutes said the seller and the other guy said he waited about an hour. I'd already waited about two hours but my stuff was soaked and just right... tacky to the touch. So I mixed up my play doh and started squeezing it into all the rotten crevices and smashed and smashed it in then leveled it off as best I could. I did all the holes, one after the other then went back and smoothed a bit with the alcohol. I poured some alcohol into a plastic cat food dish (I save these bc they are so great for painting on canvas and small jobs) and smoothed out the surface with the mud knife. It had already started getting firm but the alcohol made it pliable a bit again. When I painted on the Liquid Wood I used a paintbrush from my art set, a 1/2 inch across brush. Some of the crevices were under the wood so I couldn't see how far back or big so I poured the liquid on top of the brush next to the hole and just dabbed everywhere the brush would go and then I wouldn't waste the liquid trying to scoop it up into holes. This worked great. I coated everything about three times. I had mixed one ounce each of A and B of the liquid and had trouble using it all. There was more than enough even though I had a lot to cover. There's lots left over too. I did use all the Woodepox though. I realized it was best to take smaller amounts of each, mix them together then add some more bc the color has to be one color when the mixing is done. With the larger amount it seemed to take forever to get it to be one color. I just put it out on a plastic grocery bag and put my feet at either end of the bag to hold it down. Some pieces would fall out of my ball of play doh and I would just dab it up with the ball in my hand. Super easy to work with. I used the gloves but they must have been super man's:) Huge! I could have used my hair coloring gloves and the fit would be better. It did the job though. I'll try and post some pics of my pitiful floor. I know this is extremely amateurish but I wish I'd seen something similar while I was trying to work up the courage to start. Had no idea except the directions on what to do and I did just fine:)
