Review on Abatron WoodEpox: The Ultimate Epoxy Replacement Compound for Wood Restoration by Andre Bennett

I have been using Abatron WoodEpox for almost 30 years now. Yes, they have been around for quite some time. This is invaluable in keeping your historic home historic and accurate as it was. It can also save you a lot of money by simply restoring a small piece of rotten or missing wood around a door jamb or window sill, rather than replacing the entire window at a high cost, which is no good for old historic homes like my Victorian. I recently renovated my gingerbread porch and once again Abatron products came to my rescue and saved me a lot of trouble bringing old wood carvings back to life. This is an amazing product that anyone living in an aging home should have in their toolbox. Epoxy resin for wood, as both are essential for a fine leveling of the product when applied with a spatula. You can use just wood pulp alone and in most cases it holds and works great with large gaps in the wood, but the liquid part of this material is magic that gets really sticky or gooey and binds both the original wood and the new, added Abatron . A woody compound for ultra-permanent bonding. I always add just enough liquid to the wood mixture to make it more runny, like pancake batter. This allows you to easily push the material into small cracks and moderate gaps. For much larger missing wood gaps I use stiffer liquid to compound ratio mixes and if it's really big I add 2 x 4's etc and compound to fill in and replace entire missing wood sections. Look folks, this product, like any other, isn't 100 percent perfect, but it's as close as it gets. Will it be as good as an unrotted board? Of course not, but it will replace and fix the missing parts and make the carrying capacity stable no matter what some people say. As I have said, I have used this product in the 1836 Greek Revival and now in the 1860's Victorian style and nothing quite compares. ;)
