Thanks for this video! I'm using the same product, same mixing, on a vintage travel trailer. Works good, lasts a long time!!

I used this on my pontoon deck that had punky wood. I did use some acetone to thin it a bit. Made it rock solid.

Great video! Thanks for posting! I was looking for a product that would penetrate the wood better than what I have. I plan to use it to harden a piece of wood to make a fretboard for a guitar. I know, I know, but the whole point of the guitar is to use nothing but recycled and repurposed wood. Sometime I don't have a piece of wood hard enough for the fretboard. Very helpful! Thx.

I have a lot of really pretty maple and I’ve been waiting to find this video thank you so much

I make small wooden appliances for hobbyist applications - tool racks, mostly. I particularly like working with salvaged and spalted wood, that would typically be burned or discarded because of the rot. Once the wood is stabilized, you can really display some of the beautiful characteristics that come to view during the process of decomposition - spalting and burls are just two of the decorative anomalies that can be highlighted. This was a very helpful video, but I wonder if you might get better results with a vacuum box to draw the epoxy deeper into the fibers?

That’s totally possible however it requires a different type of epoxy. Like cactus juice

For an art project I used epoxy thinned with acetone to harden and stabilize charcoal. It worked great. The charcoal didn’t look plastic or artificial, but it was very hard and strong. It wasn’t so strong that I’d use it to support weight in a structure, but it didn’t crumble, fall apart, or leave charcoal smudges when touched. It was fine for my art project.

Does it have a darker discoloring on drips and the edges and in the old rotten or spalding area after sanding down the area for the cover coat?

What is the ratio of acetone to the epoxy mix ?

I have doubts that this will really penetrate more than the outer layer (although that may be enough depending on the usecase). To stabilize anything with significant depth you really need a vacuum/pressure pot to force the air out, and then force the product in. Even thin oil doesnt penetrate that deep just from gravity and capilary action - and expoxy no doubt has much larger particle size, not to mention limited time to act. Unless you have some unique piece you absolutely need to restore it probably makes more sense to use good wood to begin with rather than using expensive epoxy to try remedy it. If you do use pressure to fully penetrate wood with resin though - the result is nearly indestructible and will last forever, so it certainly has some usecases for making something special.

Nice. It's the only video I could find on this topic. So, once you treat with penetrating epoxy, if you sand and finish the surface, will the treated area appear similar to the rest of the slab, or is there an effect of the epoxy on the final finish? Thanks.

Once you sand it down it won’t have much of an effect on the visual aspect.

Hey I was just wondering how strong this epoxy is, I found the perfect walking stick, and I mean literally perfect, almost looks like a wizard staff, but I believe it has some rot going on, I was doing some strength tests and ended up breaking off a solid like, 7th of it at the bottom, I have that curing right now because I decided to reconnect the pieces with e6000, but in breaking it I saw two things, 1, the wood was in fact fully dry, and 2, it was also pretty soft throughout it, it was partially in water/soggy dirt next to a pond when I found it and idk how long it was there for but I assume it's slightly rotted throughout, if I soak the thing in the penetrating epoxy would it be fairly strong? Like strong enough to be a walking stick or even take a hit?

I have a cabin with plywood siding with battens. There is one spot where the outer ply has rippled. I don't want to replace the section. Do you think it would be possible to drill small pilot holes in the ripples, inject this epoxy, and screw bracing across the area to smooth out the ripples? I was thinking i could use wax paper under the bracing to help prevent accidental adhesion if any epoxy seeped out. What are your thoughts having used this product?

@GoodViewWoodworks

I’m not sure. It’s a possibility but I don’t think it will get rid of the ripples. I say try it, can’t really hurt.

After using penetrating epoxy, could I paint wood on the top of its layer? Thank you.

Did anyone else see that area as a face? The darker outer area was the hair and beard the upper lighter color was the forehead then down to the nose and mouth.

Restoring old historic buildings has used epoxy to preserve historic features when they could not be replaced or restored any other way. Usually, I've seen it done when the repaired wood was going to be covered up (i.e. historic internal structure) or painted over trim work.

Would this work well with charred wood? Ive got an old burned gun stock id like to save since it both looks cool, and i cant find one to replace ot with lol

I had some spalted southern live oak last month that I had to pull out all the soft wood. I didn't consider using epoxy to harden it. I'm guessing if you do go down that road the piece would need to have a gloss finish.

It wouldn’t need to have a gloss finish. You could use any satin urethane or oil finish over the surface.

@kandiecandelaria3134 from what I gather you could use the epoxy to harden the soft wood and then sand it to 220 grit and then apply rubio. However, I'm still learning.

Cool echo effect.

Can you use osmo as the finish if you sand the surface or would this be a problem for the epoxy used to solidify the rotten wood? Thanks

Why aren’t you wearing a respirator, goggles, and gloves to protect yourself. Epoxy is toxic.

If swallowed but most of these epoxies on Amazon like table top / counter top / deep pour epoxy’s are only toxic if you swallow them, they produce almost no fumes and it’ll say clearly on the bottle if they do produce any kind of fumes but most of them you don’t NEED a respirator for, id still wear one if I have one but won’t stop a project if I don’t.

This doesn’t stink like regular thick, epoxies that you mix together. It’s not odorless, but if you’re working outside, it’s pretty much safe anyway.

Question; I am considering using this product on some 2x8 wooden joists in my house that have taken on moisture damage and are now weak. But i am not sure how deep this stuff penetrates. Any thoughts?

Other videos I've seen show drilling small holes to allow the epoxy to get deeper into the wood.

How deep does it penetrate?
