PC Products PC-Woody Wood Repair Epoxy Paste, Two-Part 1.5 oz in Two Jars, Tan 23334

I had some very rotten windows and a decaying front door but no interest in using highly toxic chemicals to repair them and nowhere near enough money to replace them. After much research I found this. I closely watched a four part YouTube video on how to use it best (recommended) found a UK supplier on Amazon and then set to work in the hot dry weather of earlier this year. It's worth doing the proper prep work if you want it to last but that's true of any job.I sanded off the old paint (pretty much gone anyway) removed all the most rotten wood, drilled holes into the remaining frames/door (angled down where necessary to ensure maximum absorption) and coated all the wood and drill holes very liberally in PC Woody's wood hardener, which true to description has hardly any smell. I let it cure for a few days to very hard since even a spring heat wave doesn't match Arizona desert temperatures and drying time for both hardener and filler is temperature dependent.Then I took a glob from each of the epoxy wood filler tins in a 1:1 ratio mixed well and applied. It isn't the easiest stuff to apply, especially since I was replacing so much of the wood - I had to do it in layers. I recommend wearing latex gloves or similar as it's very sticky, but also true to advertising it doesn't have to be super smooth as it sands down really well and easily when fully dried. I also tried sawing and drilling it and that works too. It smells slightly while drying but nothing to notice (less than low VOC paint).For the record if you add slightly more brown than white it's more malleable but takes longer to dry and vice versa. And don't expect it to harden as fast as it would in a very hot dry climate, but once it does it's rock solid (again I left it a few days). Although the tins look tiny they do more than you'd think. After sanding and painting the windows and doors look like new. You can't tell what's the wood and what's the filler. But it won't look like natural wood without a bit of artistry if you aren't painting it.I'm so pleased there's a non toxic solution to fixing/filling rotten wood that doesn't carry danger of death warnings all over the tin. Yes it's a lot more expensive, but what price health?

I used this to fill the joins from the two planks of wood in my decking. Did the job abd made it look a smoother finish.

I used this to repair a wooden garden bridge that was beginning to get a bit week in places. I was cutting out old rotten wood and replacing it with new wood and PC Woody. To date the repairs have been really strong. Would recommend or perhaps WOOD recommend.

Slightly too light in colour for the teak on our boat but the closest so far. And I have tried a lot. This was by far the best to work with.The color match is close when dry but it stays light and the teak goes dark when the repair stands out. But as I said by far the best I have tried by a long way.

I have used Abatron WoodEpox before, and thought PC-Woody would be similar. It's not - it's MUCH harder to apply cleanly because it's so very sticky. I ended up with a very rough surface, and filler sticking to the surrounding wood. Also holes in the main body of the filler that will need a second application. No doubt it will sand down and I can use a surface filler on the holes but Abatron WoodEpox would have been quicker and easier. Never again!

Excellent stuff does shrink a bit but looks great once hardened

Very good product. Only down side is you must wait 24/48 hours to cure before sanding or drilling

Used to recover damaged garden furniture wood, great adhesion and shaped up beautifully to a perfect finish.
