I swear this is the best product in the world :) Saves a lot of $

I purchased this item from this seller on 22nd November 2016 but the leave feedback button has disappeared but I wanted to leave one now because I just used the product :) So it took me some time to get the courage to do this project but I didn't think about it today, I just did it. I watched online videos a few times, read the instructions a few times, and then got to work. I'm renovating a wooden floor from 1946 (I know it's original because I removed a few walls and the floor was worn down and already painted). This was the previous door before someone else tore down that wall. When I bought the house there was carpet so I didn't know about it. Took the carpet and HORROR! I figured I'd have to cut the wood and maybe insert a perpendicular long piece into the W supports under the floor etc. Research always comes up with more than one solution :) I found this and knew I could do it and save a lot of $. When painting liquid wood I found I didn't know when to apply woodpox. Wait or now? So. I took a chance (today is Sunday), several people answered :). The seller gave me really good advice and one to follow in the post. The seller said 5-20 minutes and the other said he waited about an hour. I had already waited about two hours but my clothes got wet and just right. sticky to the touch. So I mixed my clay and started stuffing it into all the rotten cracks, breaking and breaking it and then smoothing it out as best I could. I made all the holes, one at a time, then went back and smoothed out a bit with alcohol. I poured some alcohol into a plastic cat food bowl (I keep these because they're so good for canvas painting and small jobs) and smoothed the surface with a dirt knife. It was already starting to get hard, but the alcohol made it a little more flexible again. When I painted with liquid wood I used a brush from my art kit, a 1/2 inch diameter brush. Some of the cracks were under the tree so I couldn't see how far back or how big so I poured the liquid onto the brush next to the hole and just swept the brush everywhere the brush went and then I did it . Don't waste the liquid. try to scoop it into the holes. It worked great. I missed all three times. I mixed an ounce of liquid A and B and I had a hard time using it all. There was more than enough, although I had a lot to do. There is also a lot left. Although I used all the wooden pox. I found it better to take a smaller amount at a time, mix them together and then add more because the paint should be the same color when the mixing is complete. With a large crowd it seemed to take forever to get a color. I just put it on top of a plastic bag and put my feet on either end of the bag to hold it. Some pieces fell out of my plasticine ball and I simply wiped them off with the ball in my hand. It is very easy to work with him. I used gloves but they must have been super manly :) Huge! I could use my hair dye gloves and they would fit better. It did the job though. I will try to post a photo of my pathetic sex. I know this is very amateurish, but I wish I had seen something like this while trying to work up the courage to start. Had no idea other than instructions on what to do and I'm doing great :)
