User guide - this covers everything from prep and mixing to dry times and finishing. Most problems will be avoided by reading this before you start your repair. FAQs How many treatments of PC-Petrifier are best? Apply two treatments of PC-Petrifier. The first treatment will penetrate deeply into the wood. The second treatment will remain at the surface and make it harder. Does PC-Petrifier work on vertical surfaces? Vertical surfaces are more difficult to penetrate without holes to access the grain of the wood. Use a 1/8 to 1/4 inch bit to drill multiple holes on a 45 degree downward angle. Use a disposable brush to direct the PC-Petrifier into the holes, fully soaking the wood. If the rotted wood is crumbling and loose, should it be removed? How much damaged wood to remove is subjective. If the damaged wood is loose and can be brushed away then it is probably worth removing some or much of it. In many cases it makes sense to remove the wood and replace it. However, if the wood is decorative or is an integral part of a window, for example, then it makes sense to harden as much as possible with the PC-Petrifier. Rain is forecast. How soon after treatment can PC-Petrifier be exposed to rain? PC-Petrifier has a water base that must fully evaporate. Do not allow the treated wood to be exposed to rain until the second treatment has fully dried. If truly needed, preventative measures such as covering the treated area(s) with a tarp or plastic can be performed to avoid saturation from rain. Can PC-Petrifier be used on wood that is damp? PC-Petrifier is not as effective when applied to wood that contains water. Allow the wood to dry. Protect the wood from exposure to rain. Use fans to force air over the damp wood. Use a warming lamp in combination with a fan to accelerate the drying process. Yeah, we can fix that! Protective Coating Company was founded and incorporated in 1954 by John (Jack) Long.

Takes longer to dry then solvent based products but has almost no smell so is brilliant to use indoors. Expensive but goes a long way. Won't be using solvent based hardener indoors ever again.

This was some years back. If I remember correctly it instructed you to drill holes for deeper penetration of the decayed areas of the wood. I will say the wood was more like rock when hardened **Q: I'm replacing slats in an old bench with new pine. Would this be good to harden and waterproof the new/undamaged wood, then stain after?** A: No, new wood won't absorb it very well. It's for old spongy wood. There must be other products that are designed for preservation rather than restoration. (BTW, I wasn't impressed with it for old wood either.) **Q: Can this be used on mdf or particle board that has begun to expand and separate slightly? Such as the bottom of an arcade cabinet?** A: This will stop rot and hold together wood that has become rotten. The expansion will not go away. You might use in conjunction with yellow carpenters glue (water proof) and clamp the cabinet to force expansion and separation back to proper form. I have used on wood that had termite and water damage and the restorer hardened the wood and do the same for manufactured wood. **Q: Does the wood need to be completely dry?** A: I'm guessing it would be better if the wood was completely dry but I do it with wet wood all the time. I stabilize wood with this and I use a vacuum pump to do it. Once the vacuum pump draws a suction on the wood while it's submersed in the hardener it will have all the air sucked out of it and the hardener will will saturate it to the bone so the thing will be stabilized so that you could run it through the dish washer. There are several videos on this on YouTube. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wood hardener *by L***P on 11 December 2023* Works very well used it on woodworm damaged wood and rotten exterior wood.
