Abatron WoodEpox Kit - 2 Pint - 2-Part Structural Epoxy Adhesive Filler - Wood Filler Putty

This product is great if you need to match the profile of the non-rotted wood. I used it to repair the rotted wood corner of a door, which I thought would be impossible to repair without replacing the wood. It has a long work time, unlike some epoxies and is easy to sand, especially with a Drexel Multi-Max. You can shape it with tools. I actually used a paint stick and popsicle sticks to match the existing door edges. You want to make sure you mix the two parts well and is a solid tan color. If you don’t mix well, you won’t get a good cure and the stuff will crumble. Found that out on my first attempt using the product. It is expensive compared to other wood fillers, but the ability to work it really stands out. Bondo wood filler works well to fill large areas, but is better on flat surfaces because it sets up too fast and is too mushy to work before it hardens. QuikWood is easy to use and works well for filling holes, but much firmer so hard to use to match a profile. The non-epoxy wood fillers have not given me lasting repairs on exterior wood. The stuff also goes a long way. I’ve used the same small containers to make multiple repairs. You also want to make sure you use a wood hardener on the rotted wood (e.g. LiquidWood) to give the epoxy a firm surface to stick to. If possible, I drive stainless steel screws into the hardened rot into the fresh wood underneath, leaving the screw head and part of the screw out to give the epoxy more to adhere to and provide a stronger repair.

I actually like this stuff for filling "happy accidents" in paint grade projects. I will note that what I have is very soft and easy to mix the two parts in your hand. I suggest to the reviewers that are saying the product is dry, crumbly, difficult to mix. etc that they have bad product and should return it. This stuff, when right, is easy to combine and easy to place. I seriously don't recommend replacing huge sections of rotted wood with it though, the cost is prohibitive for that. Saw out the bad lumber and replace it. Use this stuff to conceal the joints, screw holes and the like. If you happen to drill a hole in the wrong place, this product works great to make that go away. It does cure rather slow, so don't expect 5 minute epoxy. Not the answer to every problem but worth having around the shop for sure.

This is the best wood filler and reconstruction filler on the market. It works incredibly well and can be hand worked, or tool applied. It's possible to thin the material with wood harder, or their product thinner. You can also extend the hardening time to more easily work in the material into deeper areas or rotted wood that has been pre-hardened. It is best to put this in the area to be filled while the wood harder is still a little tacky. This product does have quite a learning curve, but that's because there is nothing else like it out there.

Product worked great to patch older wood failures on 1950s home.

I have used all sorts of materials for filling and patching rotted or damaged wood. This stuff is the best I have used. It is easy to mix, doesn't kill half my brain cells from heavy fumes and finishes off nicely with sanding and paint. My initial impression when I first handled it was that it was too light and fluffy to make substantial repairs. It also seemed like it couldn't possibly bond to the wood very well. Once dried though it was solidly bonded and hard but sandable. Once painted you wouldn't know there is a repair. Adding the two part LiquidWood to the project makes it even better. You can use that to consolidate spongy wood and increase the ability for the filler to bond. Add a tiny bit of the liquid to the filler to thin it for a more spreadable consistency. Overall this is a great system for wood repair.

Excellent product. We accidentally kicked a door stopper off the moulding and the wood of the moulding chipped away, you can't screw the door stopper back in the same place. The only way to fix it, is (1) replace the entire strip of moulding or (2) use wood filler to fill in the hole and then move the door stopper an inch off. But with the Abatron WoodEpox, there is an option 3: fill in the chipped away hole with the WoodEpox, let it dry and screw the door stopper right back in. It's actually harder that the original wood of the moulding. AND it has virtually no smell, true to the product's technical spec of low VOC. And supposedly if kept in a warm place, the product's shelf like is "indefinite." Only caveat is that it needed 24 hours to fully cure on my case. Highly highly recommend this.

This stuff is amazing. Two the proper prep (per instructions), mix correctly, and apply - it's that easy. Surface is extremely durable. Have used multiple times including a 2x6 trailer deck that had rotted away - after proper prep (2 part Abatron product) you fill in with this like working with playdough - it's a great product.

Excellent product. Very easy and intuitive to work with both before and after it's hardened. Takes well to sanding and being stacked on top of itself. Definitely use alcohol on your putty knife when smoothing this as recommended in the instructions. Makes a huge difference for appearance. Note: This is completely different than wood filler paste (which closely resembles spackle in application method). This product is closer in feel to modeling clay.

Quando vivevo negli Stati Uniti, usavo sempre woodepox. Sono così felice di poter comprare in Italia!

This product is significantly superior and cheaper than anything available in Australia. Application is easier, especially when replacing missing wood. It sets solid. It sands super smooth. It's paintable after priming No wonder I can't find it here on shelves.

Perfetto

I was a little sceptical at first when I received the pots but once I started using it it was fantastic. Really easy to use, like play-doe. I recommend placing it in a warm place first as this makes the resulting 'putty' much more malleable. It's expensive but is easy to mold, can fill large areas quickly and hardens well. I was able to sand, carve and drill it successfully.

Just try. You will see 😉
