For settlement cracks on exterior house walls, is this good to use or better to use Phenopatch?

It depends on if you need a flexible patch. This patch can stretch and compress a little so it's good for changing conditions.

Dear Jim W., This 3M wrap works by applying super tight pressure as you pull it tight around a pipe. Since it has no adhesive, it is a very temporary fix and it works best for a pin size leak in a pipe, only until you can repair the pipe as soon as possible. It would not repair any type of cracks. I hope this helps answer your question. Maren

I used the product on moss growing on the siding on my house. It didn't harm the shurbs/flowers in the bed directly below this area.

This stuff is good for spot treatments, so if you're drilling into a gallery or area where there's activity, it should be effective. Be careful not to disturb the wood too much if drilling, they may avoid the area afterward and move somewhere else. Try punching into the wood with an awl or something if the wood has rotted areas where the termites have caused noticeable damage. If you have active termites in an area, spray a fair amount alongside and around the area especially where there is cross-cut wood grain showing. Soak the ends/joints of studs to get the fipronil into the wood grain and prevent them from tunneling from one stud into another where the joints are. Remember this is not rated for broadcast spraying in a dwelling such as an attic or crawlspace, but hitting vulnerable areas is wise.

I have used Bondo outside exclusively It is primarily used to repair defects e.g. rotted wood and not so much as a wood filler for nail holes and cracks. No reason you can't use it for holes and cracks, but you will need to ream them out or otherwise prepare the surface before using the Bondo.

I'm not sure its not something I've used it for. There is a product that is designed for repairs like yours. It is called Wood Epox. http://www.abatron.com/shop-online/woodepox.html You might look at their website to see if it would work for you. One of the things about PC product is that it is water based and will raise the grain so sanding is required. Minwax hardener is a solvent based solution that isn't as easy to use and has a strong odor that takes several days to disappear but less sanding is required.

Yes, it should work pretty well. If the crack is visible on the outside of the house you need to seal it as best as you can with a topical of some sort (concrete patch or mortar). This Is to stop all the epoxy from leaking out. If the whole section is 1/4" and five feet long all the way through, you will definitely need more than one tube of the epoxy. I had the same scenario with only during heavy rains and its been bone dry for the past two years.

No Problem, I have used and given to others who live in northern and southern California. Great mend for small holes. Not meant to be for large repairs. hope this helps.

Yes. We have a "peach fuzz" flocked surface on our Aerobed and it fixed it better-than-new (kids "bounced" a new hole elsewhere, so the patch has proved to be stronger than the original material of the bed)

I used "Raindrip 052010P 1/2-Inch-by-100-Foot Poly Hose" to run lines around my garden. It worked great, and i couldn't beat the price of 10 bucks. Pex would probably last alot longer though if I was more certain of the long term lay out.

If you think bugs will not burrow through this you would be incorrect. You can use any non organic topping for bug stoppage, but I believe it would be better to use bug screen just below the dirt. Decorative rock may look better on top then this.

Hello, We do not recommend that type of application and will not be effective against soil inhabiting insects. Thanks for asking! Andrew Hemmer

It's great for exterior use, but I wouldn't recommend it for inside the house. Even at the lowest pressure there would be tiny paint particles everywhere, and breathing it would not be a good idea, even with a mask.

I used the spray be sure to cover in both directions for best coverage. I saw some with glue and could see ripples under veneer maybe to much moisture in glue I am pleased with spray

I have used this material for a while and am very pleased with the results. I use it for making scenery like hills and mountains on a model railroad. It's very easy to use and sets up in about 10 minutes where you can change the shape. I apply strips of the plaster cloth over paper and foam. It hardens within 30 minutes or so. The more of the material you apply, the harder it becomes. I use it to form an object then apply Sculptamold over the casting where it hardens overnight leaving a natural looking earth-like surface. You may be able to use the material as a mold but only if you seal it with sculptamold and paint.

I used the product for something totally different than advertised for... but... we lived in an old house and used steel wool to stop up holes to thwart mice, the wool will eventually rust completely, how fast depending on humidity. Copper would last longer. We eventually used expanding foam, but you have to be careful of the amount used or it can warp wallboard. I think this product would probably be great for rodent inhibitor. Me? I unraveled it to use for copper 'yarn'... go figure

I did use this product once to prep a wall for wallcovering. The paint was semi-gloss, so wallcovering wouldn't have adhered well otherwise. Never had a problem.
