Does it work for repairing dry rot/ rotting wood?

NO, but you could remove ALL the rot and treat that area with a preservative, then use this product after preservative dries and airs out.

I used it to repair the door on my tool shed. Some of the 2 x 4's had been rotted out at the bottom of the door, so I used Plastic Wood. I made sure I removed all the rotted wood. That was a year ago, and the Plastic Wood is still holding up.

This product appears to be able to rejuvinate any wood. It may take a little longer to absorb into harder woods. I used it on a 145 year old clock with mixed wood inlays and it restored it to an almost new appearance.

Hello. Amazon asked me to answer your question. This product is used to seal the moisture in project wood and is used by folks who turn wood on a lathe. Fresh wood is cut and the end grain is sealed with this product to prevent checking or cracking. This sealer allows the wood to dry down to a moisture content around 7%. There is nearly 50% moisture content when green. Once the wood reaches a low moisture content, it is deemed to be stable.: - )

I would think as long as the wood is structurally sound overall you could use it. You need to remove all the rotted wood that can easily be scraped away and get to the good wood that is too hard to remove. Then use the hardener. Then poly coat it the next day. This should not be confused with products that supposedly seep into the rotted wood and harden it all up....this is used to harden the wood not quite rotted so the damage does not continue. Whether you fill the areas removed is up to you.

I used it on a raw, stripped cedar chest. It looks fine. However, it has to be re-oiled fairly often to maintain the beauty of the wood.

My guess would be no. I believe from using it myself to reading the description and reviews that it's best used to repair a solid object (umbrella rib, rake handle, etc.). What about colored duct tape?

Yes definitely. That is primarily what I use it for. This 527 and E6000 are the best glues in my experience for that type of repair. Of course, it will depend on expert application as to whether it will be seen or not.

It will work on any raw untreated unpainted wood. Once applied with it will last for the life of the wood so would be great to use!

hi manfred i suspect that it should be able to measure % of humidity in these products if it can and does work on sawdust then it should work on your products. regards bluey

It might but you will have to put on multiple layers so that you can blend the profile. If it is a small area then it is worth the price if you other projects. If it is a large area then replace the wood with because the rot will continue. If it is to flip the house then get regular wood putty and multiple layers of paint

I used this kit to repair a section of a cedar porch railing. I used the two part liquid wood to stabilize the rotted wood first.I also used stainless steel screws so that the two part woodepox would have something to form around. The woodepox sets up very well. I found this product very workable after adequate drying time.

It definitely seems to have a coating on it. I did not see anything mentioned about it being used to combat rotting, but it does not seem to have any problems with rot.

It will work but you will have to let the compressor catch back up. If you are scraping tile off of drywall I'd probably do it by hand with a regular hammer and hand chisel if you are trying not to damage the drywall. Just my opinion. It's actually easier to cut out the drywall and tile as one and replace it altogether.

Absolutely! I've used it on red oak, maple, African Linge and good old plywood. Nice tool for the money! Keep it oiled

The packaging says (as I recall) it's good for veneers, formica, etc . I think even metal. I think it should work for any material/surface.

We have used this product on soft wood and then covered with varnish or a wood sealer and it has worked fine. We have not used it and then put a stain over it. I suggest you take a scrap piece of wood and apply the wood hardener and then the stain. My concern would be the stain does not cover evenly or uniformly over the wood and the hardener
