Thank you! You did a great job. 10 years ago I said if everybody could teach everyone what they know the world would be a smarter place to live in. And now you can look on your phone or computer or tablet and now get information how to do things the right way.. yes finally my dream came true🤔☺
Thank you! Brilliant! had no idea this existed....new to home repair (divorce)....UA-cam is girl's best friend. going to Home Depot now! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Just bought a home that needs a lot of TLC repairs- to save money I will do most of the work myself, UA-cam is my best friend and this video and others have inspired me! Thanks❤
I have been using these products for 5 years and I can verify that they work as advertised. The repairs hold up very well. The product also stores very well. I am still using the epoxy that I bought 5 years ago, though it is almost all used up. I have used it for vertical as well as horizontal repairs.
I just mixed it as usual and spread it into a gap in the vertical part of my window frame where rot had occurred. I smoothed it as usual, sanded it, and painted it. That was over 5 years ago and it still looks great. It helps if there is something solid at the bottom to help support it. Good luck!
I used this product to fill the cracks & holes on my porch, then sanded down, used Deck Fix primer and painted. It looks AMAZING! I'm a total amateur but a professional painter looked at our porch and said "you did a better job than most pros, and you likely saved yourself at least $3K". 😇
I’m so relieved to have found this video! I’ve got rotted wood on my historic home, and was told I needed it replaced. I am going ahead and purchasing the PC Woody and tackle the job myself. Thank you, Cindy!
Great products.Thought I was going to have to replace my 4 window sills from 1895 at a cost of $2,000. These products saved the originals and they look great.
I purchased this product after watching this video and trying two previous other epoxy failed attempts. This epoxy was great! So much easier to use, simple and effective, no rushing the job. No complicated mixing procedures and vertical application was a dream. I am a real fan of PC products now.
This is an excellent product! I live in south Florida and have a custom door that had large parts of it that had rotted away from water damage. After watching this video I was certain I could make this repair myself. This product did not disappoint. I followed the instructions on this video and was able to harden the remaining wood and use the wood epoxy to fill in the missing wood. The final product was great. I was able to sand/repaint the fixed portions to match the existing wood. All in all, a great product, fast shipping, excellent instructional video and made in the U.S.A. I would not hesitate to repurchase or recommend this product. Thanks PC Products.
This stuff is great. I have an old wooden bay window with the sills all rotted. Every contractor I talked to said that I was going to have to replace the entire window. The sills were so bad that the edge of the sill fell right off about an inch into the window frame all the way around the bottom of the window. I ended up replacing the edges with 2" x 3"s that I had cut to fit. Then used the PC hardener on all the rot on the interior sill. I then filled in the empty spots and grooves with the PC woody epoxy. The window looks as good as new. I did think that the liquid hardener would have made the rotted wood a little harder than it did, but it still made it hard enough for laying out the epoxy. Thank you. You bought me at least a few years where I don't have to replace the window saving me at least 5 grand.
So glad we were able to help you save your windows! This is exactly the type of situation these products are designed for. I think you'll find you bought yourself more than just 5 years. Again so happy you were able to use our products to extend the life of your windows and save you ton of money!!
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 If your product help buy me more than 5 years then I will be back here in 5 years to let you know. Thanks again. PC woody works great!
@kottelkannim4919 Yes. absolutely it did. And from the looks of it now, it is probably going to last me another 5 years on top of that at least. I just went up this past summer to inspect and it still looks and feels great. I took a bunch of before and after pictures that I plan to post at some point when I get around to it.
The PC Petrifier and 2-Part epoxy are GREAT products. I just used them to repair rotten fascia boards behind gutters at 6 corners of my gable roof. Great results..... Highly recommended!
I do handyman work and I have used PC products for many years. PC Woody, along with PC Lumber in a putty form and more quickly curing for smaller repairs, is my mainstay for repairs and rebuilding of wood. The only thing I would differ with is the full curing time before sanding. Even in the summer months I let it cure 36 hours because, in my experience, it will gum up when sanded sooner than that. I use lacquer thinner, with gloves, for cleanup and it doesn't work so well for smoothing out and shaping after initial application because I think it's too caustic and aggressive. I will try denatured alcohol. As a result, up until now, my applications have not been so smoothed out and I always get the fully cured Woody initially shaped in with a grinder and a paint stripping attachment. It cures so hard that sanding takes much longer to get it close, but I finish it in with an orbital sander and it works very well to blend it in finely. I also have used an oscillating multi-tool and a Dremel with a cylindrical carving bit for smaller applications and tight spaces. It should always be painted. Once I did a lot of rebuilding of some detailed trim high up on the exterior of a house in early December and left it unpainted until spring. Some of it had to be redone because it deteriorated a little with rain, snow, and ice over time.
I love PC Products epoxy. So much better than the stuff you find in the big box stores. I've used their various products while repainting my house, attaching model rocket fins, boat repairs.... Pretty much everywhere. It's good stuff.
This is exactly what I needed... a simple step how to. I know my next project. Our 1940s home was poorly built and my husband is so busy with so many projects. This is something I can do.
Your very welcome. I was able to do the vertical part in one pass but if you find it is too heavy to stay up you may want to try several thinner passes instead. Best of luck to you!
You had me at "Woody"! Thanks for the video. I have a task to restore wooden window frames at my offices , in Cape Town, which have been neglected for years. With a bit elbow grease and a good product, I am sure I can make them look like new. I think for any wooden furniture or fixtures, they need to be maintained regularly or you will make unnecessary work yourself!
I'd recommend the use of a rubber glove and smooshing the filler into the hole manually to get it into all of the little nooks and crannies before smoothing off with a putty knife.
The petrifier is an acrylic, and sticky. It dries clear, but unless you sponge it off paint surfaces straight away, it leaves shiny drip trails on the surface. It instantly penetrates brick or stone around the job which wont sponge off, again leaving permanent shiny spots, so mask off.
I had the same experience. I like how this fixed my sills…but I did exactly like I saw in the video and let the petrifier run off on to my siding. Unfortunately I have permanent drip marks on it now. Maybe caption in that spot would help others avoid this?
This would be a great product to use if youre not concerned about rot & mold in the wall cavity. I had to rebuild my sister's wall because moisture had entered through her window sill & rotted out the bottom wall plate.
I have a termite eaten garage door header, needs to be replaced, it's 8' 6" long and 3.5" thick and made of 2x10 lumber. This may work for the wood around the rough opening though.
nice job, I'm a painter and my only suggestion is PPE, chemicals can damage skin and muscle tissue over time with repeated contact. A cheap protective glove is worth the price.
Thanks for posting this clip and introducing these helpful products .wishing you get the bigger , better, pictures of the products as PC - Petrified wood hardener , and the 2 part of woody epoxy A& B . Do A& B have different function with different color ???
I got a small ice cream scoop to measure it. Using it to repair a few rafter tails. I was going to replace but before I started I noticed the roofer using peel and stick underlayment and thats a huge mess so Im going those route since Im no where near ready for a new roof. Hope it works
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 It worked amazing, Im going to buy the 96 ounce tomorrow for the rest of my projects. Too bad I cant post pics, I will try and post them on Lowes and give a good review.
This type of repair is great if you are going to sell the place. Unfortunately the wood surrounding the patches often continues to deteriorate. This ultimately leads to replacing the entire part.. Been there/ done that.
Gregg, the video was just to show how to use the products and their effectiveness. To do the repair properly, yes all areas that are rotting would need to be repaired. The benefit of our products is that once done they are permanent. They prevent further rot and are waterproof, so no more repair or replacement will be necessary.
slover hardening time real plus , I was try bondo as soon as mix start harden very limited time for work before apply half of them already hardens and wont work need to discart .
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thank you. Should the smoothing be done immediately after I apply PC Woody, or should I wait for it to partially set, say 15-30 minutes??
@@gobarbless3871 either way is fine but i would only wait 15 minutes or so...the worktime for PC-Woody is 30 minutes. At that point it will begin to harden significantly and will be hard to work.
How strong is this product? Namely, I'm interested in terms of impact resistance and flexibility... for instance would it be reasonable to use to repair a 2" diameter chair leg of which roughly a 1"x3" chunk is missing due to a dog chewing on it? If so, would it be strong enough to sit on and durable enough not to crack with repeated use?
PC-Woody is non brittle when cured, it has a tensile shear strength of 850 PSI. It is more than sufficient for your repair. You can use the threaded insert, just drill a pilot hole first. and roughing a surface is never a bad idea.
A guy I work for bought some of this for us to use around a project as a possible replacement for what I already use (wont mention product name ) or to use along side it. The stuff is very hard, stuck to the floors we patched with it and other various items. My main issue was how stiff it is. I dont know if it was how long it sat on the shelf before it was sent to us but, it was really tough to mix together. I do a lot of various repair work and it was tougher than anything I've used before.
There are likely two possible reasons for the thickness/stiffness of the PC-Woody. One would be if the product is past it's 2 year shelf life (as you surmised.) There isn't any real solution to this other than to get new product. The other reason is temperature, if the product is cold it will stiffen up. It can be warmed in a warm water bath or using a heat gun or heat lamp, but do not microwave it. Once warmed the product should be more workable.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 I think it was passed its shelf life. I warmed it up but,still wrestled with it. I did het some use out of it though and am not dogging it. I haven't written it off
For vertical surfaces PC Petrifier can be "painted on" you may also want to drill some 1/8 inch holes at a downward angle to help more of the product penetrate.
Hi. Does PC-Woody have some filler, like sawdust, or it's just a two-part epoxy with more dense structure? And how fast it starts to cure? and how well PC-Woody adheres to PC-Petrifier-cured surface as PC-Petrifier is acrylic-based while PC-Woody is epoxy?
John, Petrifier is water based and thus it's the same consistency. The best approach for vertical application is to put the product in a container and brush it on. Additionally, some small 1/4 inch holes can be drilled at a downward angle to help the product flow into the wood.
When working with denatured alcohol please wear gloves! Methanol, single carbon, is readily absorbed through the skin. A video on adding stain would also be helpful.
Our products are designed for the homeowner that wants to repair rather than replace. Obviously replacement is the correct solution in some instances, but not all.
This looks like a great solution. I have a basement window sill that's rotting out from the bottom such that the concrete foundation is exposed. Will this product bond between the wood and concrete surfaces?
Yes, The PC-Woody will adhere to both the wood and the concrete. You may want to mask off any areas around the repair to prevent the Petrifier from staining and for easier clean up.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thanks! The rot removal and petrifier step went well. The resulting cavity is wide (maybe 18-24") and is about 2.25" deep. A couple of weeks ago you told @LSK Wong that a 2" cavity doesn't need to be done in layers. Is it's a bit deeper than that is the advice different?
@@adamhocherman8065 if it's horizontal then no you can fill any depth of cavity. If it's vertical, with a cavity of that size we would recommend doing it in layers.
Can I screw on a sprayer cap, like the Australian brand Earl's Wood Hardener, and spray it in ? The wood frame under the garage asbestos roof is rotting a bit. Hard to reach the inner parts. You should provide a spraybottle ike the Earl's product.
Will the PC-Petrifier stain/mar the painted surfaces it gets splashed on? If I apply the PC-Petrifier to the window sill and it runs down onto the painted surface below will it stain the paint?
The PC-Petrifier will leave a shiny clear coating on the painted surface. It is best to wipe it off while wet, tape off areas that you don't want impacted.
Hello! Thanks for the great video! I have some drilled holes in a piece of wood that I would like to fill with PC Woody 2-part wood epoxy. after filling the holes for the 1st time and letting the epoxy cure, can I add another layer of epoxy if the epoxy sinks into the hole?
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Good to know. I have a vertical repair under window flashing (which will be glued to the repair) and did not want to start with too great a thickness.
question: do you think I can use this to restore a rotten wood picture frame? The only difference I see is I will need to varnish instead of painting. Thats why I am asking. Thank you!
Yes you can use it for the frame. But bear in mind that Woody will prevent any liquid penetration so if the varnish needs to penetrate into the wood it likely won't work very well.
Yes, you caught us. In our haste to record the video we failed to mask off the surrounding area. Always mask surrounding areas just as you would with a paining job.
Having been a trained auto body man I am well aware that most any “filler” used in great volume (thickness) they have the tendency to shrink crack and pull from the edges inward. How does your product not do that?
PC-Petrifier is the consistency of water so yes it will run. We do recommend masking off any areas that you don't want treated. PC-Petrifier will clean up with hot soapy water.
I have T1-11 siding and I go around periodically tapping with my fingernails. If I find a soft spot, usually around windows or near trim, can I use one of your products, and which one, to repair? I thought I might drill a hole and inject one of these products into the hole? Thanks.
Customers have used PC-Petrifier onT1-11 with positive feedback. Apply PC-Petrifier directly to the soft spot if the wood is unpainted. Otherwise, it will be necessary to drill hole(s).
You can always cut the old sill off and glue /screw a new piece of wood on probably safer .your hair won’t get in all the toxic stuff and you won’t have it all on your table etc .
In some situations if the rot is extremely sever, yes replacement is the right choice. But in others repair is a better option. By the way both products are non-toxic.
I have an old set of wood garden chairs that are severly pitted and grooved but I'd actually like to save them. Does this PC stuff have the strength to hold when Jaba Hut and other guests sit down?
Indeed it does!! If the wood on the chair is only pitted and is not completely rotted, the PC-Petrifier and the PC-Woody can restore the chair to "like new" condition. By the way, say hi to Jabba for us!
If it is a horizontal repair you can fill the hole in one application. If it is vertical, depending on the size of the void you can go up about 1.5 to 2 inches before the product will begin to sag slightly. In that case we recommend layering the Woody.
3M's wood restorer is highly flammable. It is low viscosity. The active ingredient is a waxy substance in low concentration. It soaks in easily and dries to a water resistant coating fairly quickly. PC-Petrifier is not flammable, doesn’t smell bad and adds a polymer that cures in the wood at a higher concentration. Bondo has an off putting odor, cures fast and sometimes prematurely depending on how much catalyst is measured. It is hard like a rock when cured and does not move with the wood. It will develop cracking and fall out of the hole when exposed to exterior environment. PC-Woody is 3 times stronger than wood when cured and will never shrink or crack or fall out.
Hello I just ordered your product to fix a window with an identical problem, can you please tell me what is the primer and paint all in one that you use and suggest for exterior windows? Thanks!
John, our products are available at most local hardware stores (Ace, True Value, Do It Best etc.) They are also available on Home Depot.com and Amazon.
The PC Woody works great. However, you showed a repair of a relatively accessible section of a sill. I’m repairing sill corner that is difficult to get the PC Woody into the crevices. Any suggestions on how to approach this problem?
If the corner is hollow it will be necessary to open up the surface and harden the wood with PC-Petrifier or PC-Rot Terminator wood hardeners then follow with PC-Woody. If the damaged is limited only to surface crevices use alcohol or acetone on your gloved finger tips or tool to aid application of PC-Woody.
Jay, in some situations yes it makes more sense to simply replace rather than repair. Our products are for the situations where the easier more cost effective option is to repair.
I'm interested in the wood hardener, but the actual details are lacking in the video as you go straight to the filler. How strong is the wood after you soak it with the hardener? I don't expect it to be like a whole piece of wood, but it would be nice to know if the strength is increased as a result of the hardener rebinding the rotted wood.
PC-Petrifier improves the hardness of damaged wood but it does not restore it to “new”. It will strengthen the wood to enable the application of a wood filler such as PC-Woody. How much strength gets added? Tough to say because of variabilities in damaged wood. It is best to expect minimal strength added and if more is needed then try PC-Rot Terminator. It provides greater hardening than PC-Petrifier.
Corner of window sill broke off. Can if form the missing corner with rigid Teflon sheet, fill the void with PC Woody and be able to remove the Teflon when your product cures? If so, I would then sand and paint the repair.
Sam...while vertical repairs can be done using forms and wax paper or a silicone release agent, that is a bit more advanced. PC-Woody can also be built up in layers as it will adhere to itself.
Thank you! You did a great job. 10 years ago I said if everybody could teach everyone what they know the world would be a smarter place to live in. And now you can look on your phone or computer or tablet and now get information how to do things the right way.. yes finally my dream came true🤔☺

This type of repair is great if you are going to sell the place. Unfortunately the wood surrounding the patches often continues to deteriorate. This ultimately leads to replacing the entire part.. Been there/ done that.
Gregg, the video was just to show how to use the products and their effectiveness. To do the repair properly, yes all areas that are rotting would need to be repaired. The benefit of our products is that once done they are permanent. They prevent further rot and are waterproof, so no more repair or replacement will be necessary.
Yeh, it's called jack legging something
It looks like a good product!
Should you be using gloves and mask when applying or are all the products Very low VOC ?
These products are non-toxic and extremely low VOC.
Smooth level area with alcohol/finger.
Awesome product, thank you!
it might be good but I bought one & mine it's so hard to mix! it should smoother a bit!
I would recommend heating the product by placing the jars in hot water baths (do not microwave). This will make the product more easily workable.
This is for rotted wood only, or I can use it to fill a crack between used wood and new wood. thank you
PC-Woody will adhere to new and old wood equally well.
Great video! Thanks!
Thank YOU!!
Very helpful
slover hardening time real plus , I was try bondo as soon as mix start harden very limited time for work before apply half of them already hardens and wont work need to discart .
You did finish the window sill, yes?
UA-cam recommended this video 👍
Would I get the same or similar results using isopropyl alcohol in place of the denatured alcohol you used in the video to smooth the finish?
Yes, you can also use mineral spirits or acetone.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thank you. Should the smoothing be done immediately after I apply PC Woody, or should I wait for it to partially set, say 15-30 minutes??
@@gobarbless3871 either way is fine but i would only wait 15 minutes or so...the worktime for PC-Woody is 30 minutes. At that point it will begin to harden significantly and will be hard to work.
How strong is this product? Namely, I'm interested in terms of impact resistance and flexibility... for instance would it be reasonable to use to repair a 2" diameter chair leg of which roughly a 1"x3" chunk is missing due to a dog chewing on it? If so, would it be strong enough to sit on and durable enough not to crack with repeated use?
PC-Woody is non brittle when cured, it has a tensile shear strength of 850 PSI. It is more than sufficient for your repair. You can use the threaded insert, just drill a pilot hole first. and roughing a surface is never a bad idea.
A guy I work for bought some of this for us to use around a project as a possible replacement for what I already use (wont mention product name ) or to use along side it.
The stuff is very hard, stuck to the floors we patched with it and other various items. My main issue was how stiff it is. I dont know if it was how long it sat on the shelf before it was sent to us but, it was really tough to mix together. I do a lot of various repair work and it was tougher than anything I've used before.
There are likely two possible reasons for the thickness/stiffness of the PC-Woody. One would be if the product is past it's 2 year shelf life (as you surmised.) There isn't any real solution to this other than to get new product. The other reason is temperature, if the product is cold it will stiffen up. It can be warmed in a warm water bath or using a heat gun or heat lamp, but do not microwave it. Once warmed the product should be more workable.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315
I think it was passed its shelf life. I warmed it up but,still wrestled with it. I did het some use out of it though and am not dogging it. I haven't written it off
@@williamsmith9026 if it's past it's shelf life we would recommend getting fresh product.
Can the PC Petrifier be applied to vertical surfaces? Need to use something on a door frame.
For vertical surfaces PC Petrifier can be "painted on" you may also want to drill some 1/8 inch holes at a downward angle to help more of the product penetrate.
hello when you use the PC-peterifer on, Lets say wood decks. Can you paint over it with decking DECK OVER PAINT TEXTURE?
You can paint over PC Petrifier, we always recommend using a good high quality primer, such as Bullseye 1-2-3, before painting.
Better than bondo or fix all. They both dry to quick in the heat
Hi. Does PC-Woody have some filler, like sawdust, or it's just a two-part epoxy with more dense structure? And how fast it starts to cure? and how well PC-Woody adheres to PC-Petrifier-cured surface as PC-Petrifier is acrylic-based while PC-Woody is epoxy?
She said it had "wood flour".
Looks nice on a flat surface, What about the petrifier on a vertical surface? How do you restore or re-finish the thin vertical window frames?
John, Petrifier is water based and thus it's the same consistency. The best approach for vertical application is to put the product in a container and brush it on. Additionally, some small 1/4 inch holes can be drilled at a downward angle to help the product flow into the wood.
And I taught I had to hired a Contractor… thank you 😊
So glad you found our products helpful!
When working with denatured alcohol please wear gloves! Methanol, single carbon, is readily absorbed through the skin.
A video on adding stain would also be helpful.
Thanks for the tip. We will consider making a video demonstrating how to tint PC-Woody.
Product looks awesome but this window sill is just wood and easy to replace with new wood. Seems easier to replace the wood than do this?
Our products are designed for the homeowner that wants to repair rather than replace. Obviously replacement is the correct solution in some instances, but not all.
Is PC-Woody strong enough to anchor a #20, 3/4" deep threaded insert?
This stuff is fantastic
Thanks! We agree!!
hi do you have to soak that much? i am so worried i wont have enough.
The best method is to completely saturate the wood, to be sure all the rot has been treated.
This looks like a great solution. I have a basement window sill that's rotting out from the bottom such that the concrete foundation is exposed. Will this product bond between the wood and concrete surfaces?
Yes, The PC-Woody will adhere to both the wood and the concrete. You may want to mask off any areas around the repair to prevent the Petrifier from staining and for easier clean up.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thanks! The rot removal and petrifier step went well. The resulting cavity is wide (maybe 18-24") and is about 2.25" deep. A couple of weeks ago you told @LSK Wong that a 2" cavity doesn't need to be done in layers. Is it's a bit deeper than that is the advice different?
@@adamhocherman8065 if it's horizontal then no you can fill any depth of cavity. If it's vertical, with a cavity of that size we would recommend doing it in layers.
Can I screw on a sprayer cap, like the Australian brand Earl's Wood Hardener, and spray it in ?
The wood frame under the garage asbestos roof is rotting a bit. Hard to reach the inner parts.
You should provide a spraybottle ike the Earl's product.
Yes, the product can be sprayed.
Will the PC-Petrifier stain/mar the painted surfaces it gets splashed on?
If I apply the PC-Petrifier to the window sill and it runs down onto the painted surface below will it stain the paint?
The PC-Petrifier will leave a shiny clear coating on the painted surface. It is best to wipe it off while wet, tape off areas that you don't want impacted.
Hello! Thanks for the great video!
I have some drilled holes in a piece of wood that I would like to fill with PC Woody 2-part wood epoxy.
after filling the holes for the 1st time and letting the epoxy cure, can I add another layer of epoxy if the epoxy sinks into the hole?
Yes PC-Woody will adhere to itself. But, it also doesn't shrink so as long as you fill the holes the first time you won't have to add to it.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thanks!
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Good to know. I have a vertical repair under window flashing (which will be glued to the repair) and did not want to start with too great a thickness.
question: do you think I can use this to restore a rotten wood picture frame? The only difference I see is I will need to varnish instead of painting. Thats why I am asking. Thank you!
Yes you can use it for the frame. But bear in mind that Woody will prevent any liquid penetration so if the varnish needs to penetrate into the wood it likely won't work very well.
Not a comment, a question. Do the drips have any effect on the substances around it?
Yes, you caught us. In our haste to record the video we failed to mask off the surrounding area. Always mask surrounding areas just as you would with a paining job.
Having been a trained auto body man I am well aware that most any “filler” used in great volume (thickness) they have the tendency to shrink crack and pull from the edges inward. How does your product not do that?
That is proprietary information. But i can tell you that decades of customers can attest to the fact that PC-Woody does NOT shrink.
🤣🤣🤣 exactly what I thought aswell...
Do I see streaks where the petrifier dribbled down the cement and stone and wasn’t washed off? I hope not .
PC-Petrifier is the consistency of water so yes it will run. We do recommend masking off any areas that you don't want treated. PC-Petrifier will clean up with hot soapy water.
Thanks 4 demo
You're welcome!
I have T1-11 siding and I go around periodically tapping with my fingernails. If I find a soft spot, usually around windows or near trim, can I use one of your products, and which one, to repair? I thought I might drill a hole and inject one of these products into the hole? Thanks.
Customers have used PC-Petrifier onT1-11 with positive feedback. Apply PC-Petrifier directly to the soft spot if the wood is unpainted. Otherwise, it will be necessary to drill hole(s).
You can always cut the old sill off and glue /screw a new piece of wood on probably safer .your hair won’t get in all the toxic stuff and you won’t have it all on your table etc .
In some situations if the rot is extremely sever, yes replacement is the right choice. But in others repair is a better option. By the way both products are non-toxic.
That sander is older than that house! 😂
I have an old set of wood garden chairs that are severly pitted and grooved but I'd actually like to save them. Does this PC stuff have the strength to hold when Jaba Hut and other guests sit down?
Indeed it does!! If the wood on the chair is only pitted and is not completely rotted, the PC-Petrifier and the PC-Woody can restore the chair to "like new" condition. By the way, say hi to Jabba for us!
can this be done on window sill inside my bathroom window is in the shower with the tub ?
Yes...same procedure.
Should you be applying the Wood Filler in layers ? or is it OK to apply all at once to fill the hole ?
If it is a horizontal repair you can fill the hole in one application. If it is vertical, depending on the size of the void you can go up about 1.5 to 2 inches before the product will begin to sag slightly. In that case we recommend layering the Woody.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thank You
Can we put some screw in the treated wood with the PC Petrefier and the PC Woody?
Yes, anything you can do with wood you can do with PC-Woody, nail, screw, drill, saw, sand, prime & paint, etc...
What are the pros and cons of the PC-petrifier and PC Woody versus 3M rotted wood restorer and 3M Bondo wood filler?
3M's wood restorer is highly flammable. It is low viscosity. The active ingredient is a waxy substance in low concentration. It soaks in easily and dries to a water resistant coating fairly quickly. PC-Petrifier is not flammable, doesn’t smell bad and adds a polymer that cures in the wood at a higher concentration.
Bondo has an off putting odor, cures fast and sometimes prematurely depending on how much catalyst is measured. It is hard like a rock when cured and does not move with the wood. It will develop cracking and fall out of the hole when exposed to exterior environment. PC-Woody is 3 times stronger than wood when cured and will never shrink or crack or fall out.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. Much appreciation. Cheers! :)
Hello I just ordered your product to fix a window with an identical problem, can you please tell me what is the primer and paint all in one that you use and suggest for exterior windows? Thanks!
we don't have any particular brand recommendations, any high quality selection will work well.
How does it compare to Abatron in durability and in cost of the product?
It is a far superior product in performance and durability and it is less expensive.
How I am able to buy this product...???? Checked Home Depot and dont have it...
John, our products are available at most local hardware stores (Ace, True Value, Do It Best etc.) They are also available on Home Depot.com and Amazon.
The PC Woody works great. However, you showed a repair of a relatively accessible section of a sill. I’m repairing sill corner that is difficult to get the PC Woody into the crevices. Any suggestions on how to approach this problem?
If the corner is hollow it will be necessary to open up the surface and harden the wood with PC-Petrifier or PC-Rot Terminator wood hardeners then follow with PC-Woody. If the damaged is limited only to surface crevices use alcohol or acetone on your gloved finger tips or tool to aid application of PC-Woody.
@@pcproductsepoxy4315 Thanks for the acetone suggestion. The PC woody was sticking to my gloved fingers.
Why not replace the whole sil and replace with something that won’t rot?
Jay, in some situations yes it makes more sense to simply replace rather than repair. Our products are for the situations where the easier more cost effective option is to repair.
Great video! Will the "squishy" wood petrifier penetrate through a painted surface?
No, the paint should be removed as much as possible or holes drilled through the paint to allow the Petrifier to get to the wood underneath.
I was thinking about using this on some very severe wood worm damage on the foot of an antique chair. Do you think this would help?
Absolutely...that's a great application for these products.
I'm interested in the wood hardener, but the actual details are lacking in the video as you go straight to the filler. How strong is the wood after you soak it with the hardener? I don't expect it to be like a whole piece of wood, but it would be nice to know if the strength is increased as a result of the hardener rebinding the rotted wood.
PC-Petrifier improves the hardness of damaged wood but it does not restore it to “new”. It will strengthen the wood to enable the application of a wood filler such as PC-Woody. How much strength gets added? Tough to say because of variabilities in damaged wood. It is best to expect minimal strength added and if more is needed then try PC-Rot Terminator. It provides greater hardening than PC-Petrifier.
Corner of window sill broke off. Can if form the missing corner with rigid Teflon sheet, fill the void with PC Woody and be able to remove the Teflon when your product cures? If so, I would then sand and paint the repair.
Sam...while vertical repairs can be done using forms and wax paper or a silicone release agent, that is a bit more advanced. PC-Woody can also be built up in layers as it will adhere to itself.
