Abatron WoodEpox Epoxy Wood Replacement Compound, 12 oz Kit, Part A & B

Built garage door post which had become rotten at the base with large gap.After watching the company video on how to use it,I decided to use Ronseal wood hardener on the rotten bits the day before and on the second day applied some more wood hardener before applying this abtron wood epoxy which worked like magic.It is semi solid almost and just nead it like bread dough.I have now got a structure almost as solid as a rock and by the way delivery was next day which is really excellent

This stuff is amazing

Works well though seems hardish to get out of the tub. Once out is is very soft and mixes well together. It is easy to apply and seems quite hard when set properly. I can not yet vouch for the longevity as I have only had it about a week. But so far so good and I would buy it again.

I had seen a different product - PC Woody - being used but couldn't find a way to buy it in the UK, so thought I should try WoodEpox, and I'm very pleased with the results. The ability to combine two seemingly inert putty-like substances and generate something that hardens to be like rock is really kind of magical. As the instructions say, you need to make sure you thoroughly mix the stuff from the two pots and be careful to avoid cross contaminating the containers. The mixture is easier to manage by hand than with a palette knife. At first I didn't think it was working as it stayed soft, then a few hours later bingo - you can knock on it and get a satisfying sound. I'm yet to sand it and paint, but very impressed so far.

Useful to repair damaged wood

Wow what a great product. First of all I would say this is the first time I have used this as I needed to replace a window frame with shaping to it.. It did take a little bit of getting used to as it is nothing like Other wood fillers. ie good for shaping filling missing wood and things you need to mould to a shape. One thing I would say is this doesn’t sand down that easy so over filling in defiantly not the best method. When this sets it’s more like plastic than wood filler.

Time will tell… I took ages to arrive. When I requested a refund, it was declined, as it was ‘on its way’. It did finally arrive. When I opened it, I noted that I had been sold old stock… one pot was manufactured 2020… so five years old and well beyond the recommended shelf life. Also the inside of the cellophane wrap was wet, as was the instruction leaflet. The lids were not tight, so were either poorly sealed, or previously opened. The consistency looked old and crumbly, and not smooth like the YouTube videos of the stuff. Altogether a poor start. It appeared to mix OK. Only time will tell if I have been sold a dud… and if so, I shall be asking for a refund; although I won’t get back the time spent applying the mix, or getting rid of it, if needed, to apply a better product. Overall a poor experience.

This product was easy to mix, found kneeding with gloved hands best. most importantly found it easy to sand down to required profile using production paper. the only disadvantage is smoothing the surface with a putty knife as it tends to drag, soyou will need to finish of with the putty knife frequently dipped in water

Perfetto

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.

El producto cumple su funcion. IMPOSIBLE conseguir factura por parte del vendedor

I actually like this stuff for filling "happy accidents" in paint grade projects. I will note that what I have is very soft and easy to mix the two parts in your hand. I suggest to the reviewers that are saying the product is dry, crumbly, difficult to mix. etc that they have bad product and should return it. This stuff, when right, is easy to combine and easy to place. I seriously don't recommend replacing huge sections of rotted wood with it though, the cost is prohibitive for that. Saw out the bad lumber and replace it. Use this stuff to conceal the joints, screw holes and the like. If you happen to drill a hole in the wrong place, this product works great to make that go away. It does cure rather slow, so don't expect 5 minute epoxy. Not the answer to every problem but worth having around the shop for sure.

Product worked great to patch older wood failures on 1950s home.
