Protective Coating 163337 Woody Epoxy Paste, 12 oz Container

This is a wonderful product for repairing smaller instances of wood rot on windows and exterior wood. I've been using PC Woody Paste, in conjunction with their PC-Petrifier epoxy hardener, for about 10 years and am completely satisfied. While the product is a bit technique sensitive, like any epoxy, most of my repairs have been very successful and have lasted. The few minor failures I've had were caused by my own learning curve - not removing enough damaged wood first or going too thin with this product. Live and learn - now my success rate is 100%.I'm using the product to repair my "builder cheap" wood windows and sills when needed You have to mind their cure times and properly prepare the surface, but my results are always undetectable and permanent. The product is easy to sand after it cures and paints the same as real wood. If you don't get the form and finish absolutely perfect on first try, you can wait for cure and simply apply another coat without problems. It took me a while to get the technique down, but now I couldn't be happier with the results. While the product is not particularly cheap, it can FAR cheaper than extensive repairs or window replacement. Better yet, the areas stay repaired and look "good as new". You cut the amount of product you use in some applications by filling large cavities with real wood and then applying this product over (provided that topcoat is not too thin).

This worked very well to patch some wood damage that had partially exposed the assembly hardware on one side of a display case. After reading previous reviews, I made sure I had a couple of metal paint scrapers to mix with and uninterrupted time to complete the job. It does have the consistency of stiff peanut butter, but I did mix it completely as advised. I was able to fill the gaps, then put packing tape on the near vertical surface as a precaution. A day later, I was able to move and use the case. I did not paint, the surface mended was not visible, just structurally important. I still have leftover, unmixed components for future use. The remainder mixed paste as left to cure on the cardboard mixing surface and tossed. This is now on my go-to list as the stuff to use for filling and repairing gaps in wood.

The trim on my house was all weather-worn and I wanted to smooth it out before I repainted it. I scraped the paint and sanded the wood, then applied this to the surface with a putty knife. I then sanded again after it dried overnight, primed, and painted. The result looks amazing! I did a test patch in a less-visible area without using the epoxy, and now that spot really bugs me when I see it.I did the entire length of the trim on the front of my house and carport using less than one set of cans of this stuff. I thought it would take way more.The only weird thing about it is that it made me really hungry for soft-serve ice cream while mixing it up.

I have never used another wood putty or epoxy, bondo or any other wood filler so I do not have anything to compare it to but I like the results and it does what the manufacturer says it will do.I had extensive termite damage to the trimming, casing and door jambs on my front door and also around the garage doors but not as bad. I would have rathered replaced the jambs for the same price (because I needed 24 oz.) but I do not have the router, level and other tools I would have needed for the cutouts and locks.After removing all the damaged sections, the bottom of the jambs on both sides were pretty much gone and a section at the top of the left jamb about 8" high and the width of the jamb. I used 1/4" plywood for backing and support at the bottom of the jams and a piece of aluminum sheet metal for backing and support with angle brackets cut to fit and epoxy glued to each side of the sheet metal to form and strengthen the corners. The angle brackets worked well, the holes adding extra grip for the wood epoxy. If I had thought about it, I could have put bolts in the holes for the wood epoxy to form around and add more structural support.Before applying the epoxy I used PC Products PC-Petrifier to harden the wood and help the epoxy adhere to the wood. Mixing was easy enough, I used a piece of plastic to mix on. Applying the epoxy with putty knives is straight forward but it does start setting up fairly quickly so I mixed small batches which gave me more time to shape and form it. Once it starts getting too tacky it can no longer be worked with but before it gets to that point you can use isoprobyl alcohol to extend its useful working time. Once it dries it is very hard and is tan in color, similar to wood. I had no problem sanding it like regular wood and hammering nails into it. I also painted over it.The only negative is that it is fairly expensive. I will definitely recommend PC-Woody to others and I will use it again. It is easy to use and the job looks great when finished. PC-Petrifier also worked very well.

How can you go wrong with a wood epoxy that smells like peanut butter, looks like peanut butter and spreads like peanut butter. This product has all the right qualities. Easy to mix (equal parts A and B), comfortable working time (about 10-15 minutes), fast setting, doesn't shrink, great sanding characteristics, and paints up nicely. Very spreadable, but holds it shape on vertical surfaces. It's a bit pricey, but the 12oz size goes a long way. I've used other brands that set too quickly and have very harsh odors. PC-Woody has only a slight odor. I recommend it for any wood repair (from small nicks to big pockets and cracks).

good stuff, easy to mix (air temperature does effect set up time) and easy to work.used it on original vertical window trim that—after replacing twenty five year old windows—didn't fit as dimensions of replacement windows created a 1/2 to 3/4 inch gap over a five foot run.was concerned it wouldn't hold on vertical...it did and was rock solid in 24 hours sanded and painted is a flawless repair that paid for the product and then some as it saved buying new wood, cutting, priming for a 60" x 72" picture window and two 30" x 60" casement windows in bow window framing.
