Can pieces of wood be added to a large hole to reduce the amount of Wood Epoxy needed to file the void?

I used the liquid wood added to saw dust to fill a knot hole in a cedar rail. The knot hole was around a inch in diameter. I would recomend using the WoodEpox last since this product is very easy to shape and finish sand.

Yes, this is possible, I did this and it blends to the pieces of wood tight and firm. It reduces the amount of Wood Epox
1015957
Yes, you can use it like a glue or just put random pieces of wood in the mix

As long as the pieces are small and free floating in the middle of the epoxy mix. Example, if the wood piece is to one side against the good wood, it will be weak in that spot, subject to fracturing in repair objects such as doors. Smaller .5 fill fragments are best to assure strength and sure bonding, largely depending on the size of the file. Sawdust is not advised by epoxy companies, because its granular size diminishes the compound's bonding strength.

I haven't tried that, but it looks like 5 others have successfully done so. Depending on the size of the hole and the stability of the substrate, I think it might work better to screw a piece of wood into the hole and then fill in around it.

Yes. You can also 'cap' the void with a piece of wood after filling with Abatron Wood Epox. Remember to always verify that the surrounding wood is dry...you don't want a rot problem to start back up 'behind' your patch. Oh yeah, and make certain that whatever caused the problem in the first place has been resolved

Yes.We recommend using LiquidWood first, then fasten clean/dry wood with fasteners, saturate with more LiquidWood and then finish with with adequate thickness of WoodEpox.

I'm sure it would work, but because of amount of material needing to be cleared out, especially with 3/4" lumber, I think the 1/2" bit would be the safest route to go.

I honestly didn't try to do that but from what I can tell if you filled a sort of deep hole, it won't hold up well in the material.If the nail or screw can go in enough to be firmly nailed in the wood under the 'Dapped' area then it should be fine. As long as it's firmly nailed in the wood (or brick).

A second thought. You could remove a 1/4" of wood or so and then attach the bulkhead. What is on the liquid side to prevent a leak? I am thinking some kind of liner or wood sealant.

No, I don't believe so. The hole is fairly small - the system uses pressure to force the epoxy into the crack. Just be sure to read the directions before you begin, there are some that are vital, but you can easily glance over. I used this repair kit on my windshield and was very satisfied.

It might depend on how big the hole is. You could always pull it apart for a second while you apply the patch.

With a drill. I don't think the size of the holes matter as long as there are enough for them to breathe and allow air circulation if the other sides are occluded for some reason.

Yes, it can be done, but will leave a hole on each side after removal. It does add a certain measure of stability, but the product is well constructed. Alan

Yes, but make sure the shank(the part that goes thru the hole) isn't too thick. The space is limited.

the wood and the epoxy in time will expand and contract at a different rate. there's cheaper stuff that's designed specifically for that purpose. the filler you want is whats used to repair and maintain Victorian homes in San Francisco

Yes, you have to drill a hole, unless there is already one in the appropriate location, and is of the right size. You may have to add to the wood chips (easily done) for an extended smoke period of 5 hrs.

Unfortunately, no. The holes are not drilled completely through to do that.

They have a deckplate available. Depending on your spacing, this could cover those holes.

Cut a hole in the fabric before you insert the grommet. I use a hole punch specifically designed for making holes for grommets.

Yes, I have done that. Of course you would then need a cover for the open hole when the machine is in the down position. It appears to be a pretty straight forward job, however did require some carpentry work. Stan W.

It would seem to me that you could do this. I found that the clear coat does not go as far as the epoxy does in coverage. You may need additional clear coat.

One might try Forstner bits - they cut the outer edge of the hole first, leaving a nice clean hole. They also have a centering point.
