thank you, what a help! I am repairing a wooden cabinet in my garden and I will be using this product...a lifesaver...by the way, I tried to hire someone to fix the cabinet and no takers, so I am doing it and I am a 91 year old lady....your video is just what I needed.
I hope someday when I'm older I'm as independent and handy as you are
If I lived near you, my husband and I would gladly come and help you at no charge.
Good for you Jane!
God Bless you.
Wow good for you
66-year-old granny here. Just watched your video and have completed step 1 (the liquid) on a post repair! Your video was detailed, easy to follow and included some great tips not included in the paper directions. Well done!
And oh - loved the snowman!!!
Idea: incline your drill holes and the epoxy resin will not run out. Solid how to vid. Thx 😎
Wish I had known about this 6 weeks ago. I'm an 80 yo woman who has been repairing and painting the exterior of my manufactured home. About 4 inches up from the bottom of the siding had rot because a workman in the past had not caulked trim boards. I covered the damage with elastimer paint and new trim boards, properly caulked, but there were places where holes remained. I filled these with plastic wood putty. The system you have shown here would have made all the repairs of damaged wood so much easier and cleaner. I will keep it in mind for the future.
I Am Admittedly not yet familiar with plastic wood putty~~ but just from title & imagination; Both products sound super similar🤗. And I'm learning about BOTH THESE AWESOME BABIES TODAYYY‼️‼️🆚👌🙌🖖🐞
Thank you so much! I bought the product and will be using it this week! I feel so much better about doing it after watching you do it to your home!!
Thank You SOOOO MUCH for this video! Perfect solution to my daughter's rotted siding issue! Bless You!
I had this kit for a few years and never used it. Just used it last week, this stuff is awesome. I bought another one again. It really works!!
Hard enough to fix the end of a support beam wood?
Any time a fix makes it even better is the most satisfying thing ever.
So excited to learn about this. Our house is in the middle of the woods and the bugs and woodpeckers have done a number on it. Glad to know I don't have to replace all the wood. Great video!
THANK YOU for saving me a HUGE job of replacing the door jamb around an exterior door! The wood epoxy will repair what needs repairing!!
Thanks to you I’m about to purchase a product that I didn’t even know existed 20 min. ago! Abatron looks awesome!
Wow and thank you! Looking forward to catching your other how-to videos. Clear, concise, and well demonstrated, you are a great instructor! Mahalo!
Love that product.
My go to epoxy for repairing wood trim in an old home.
This is awesome, I have a little issue in our attic and this should work just fine. Thanks, great share, blessings.
Omg u are who i was looking for , we have a wood shingle home and have been noticing some rot so thank u so so much , just subscribed to your channel.....YOUR A IFE SAVER
Love hearing that Kim. Thanks so much for watching and for your support. It is greatly appreciated!
To match your rough surface wood texture after you apply and smooth out your repair patch material you can use a piece of cedar board or if you’re using T111 siding you can use a scrap piece of the siding. Put a piece of wax paper over your board and screw it down on the surface over your repair patch area, around the corner if you want, to square it up. It will leave all the new material put in there with the same wood grain texture that you have on the surface of the board you’re attaching to it.
wayy too much trouble for nothing
@@Fattony6666 what is your solution for this problem?
@@brucecampbell6186 Wouldn't worry about him. Another lazy youngin.
It’s a nice trick
I actually have this problem right now. Have to try your remedy! Thanks for posting!!
I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much. I will try to fix my house now, oddly enough I have the same issue like your video. I will use your product recommendation.
Love the outcome and the idea of making this video, great help for me
😍
I’ve used a similar product for a rotted door jam. When they installed the door they never put in Z flashing. Removing the entire jamb was a huge job. I was in no mood. I bought a spray hardner and the stuff worked well. I built out the opening then used the epoxy mix. It’s been four years and it still looks brand new.
Just what I was looking for! Thanks. Looks like a great product , no surprise that it has great ratings.
I need to do the exactly same thing to me house. I'm so glad I saw this video cause I thought I would have to replace the wood and that would require my to hire someone but now I know that with that kit i can do it myself. Thanks for sharing.
What a great video!! Thank you so much!! I ordered this product and will be starting repair work today!! Thanks again!
Really awesome video! A good way to create the wood texture to match the facia is to scrape it into the wood dough after it’s dry with a utility knife. Just wear safety glasses when you do this because the blade tip always breaks off.Thanks for the video,be safe my friend.
Great channel. Came here and found solutions for three projects I have. Thanks!
I've used automotive plastic filter(Bondo) and exterior construction adhesive in caulk tubes. Both worked great.
Just bought my first home and there are a few areas of wood rot such as this - this video is so easy to follow and I've ordered by kit off amazon so I can try to do some minor fixes on our next string of sunny days. Thank you for this, as for those of us without carpentry tools and skills-> this is probably going to (no joke) save me at least $1,000 from our local handy man companies (much less having a contractor come out to do the fixes). Thank you!
Repair it correctly , any wood putty or filler product is just a band aid especially the soffit repair " which will not last " unless it's just a small insect hole you're filling . The repair in this video could be repaired with a new trim board in under 30 minutes and it's not as expensive as you think . People have no problem paying a Garage $70+ per hour to have a vehicle worked on . Your home is the same thing , the difference is your home is also an investment so you will get your money back in the long run .
@@manchesterexplorer8519 You're probably right, it would also probably be cheaper vs that much putty. -I think it's a matter of time/laziness over anything. Even if doing it right takes the same amount of time it's still harder work for a lot of people. I think his method uses far too much wood epoxy to be fair though. It would be far cheaper to spray some spray foam in there first then (after it dries) add a desired layer of wood epoxy on top (cut into the foam a little if you want a thicker wood epoxy layer). I've done this in the past as a temporary fix that lasted 10+ years, I just used a hand saw to level the spray foam and coated it with some caulk (rather than wood filler).
@@LongToad I understand what this video is about as I get it as I'm a contractor . Foam is another way for a homeowner to fix things as well . But as an experienced contractor I see a very simple repair that could be had for about $20 in material and about 30 minutes of labor tops .
I also understand that every homeowner doesn't own the power tools nor has the knowhow to fix something like this . This is why I stay busy 👍
Excellent video, everything I needed to know and so much more. DIY friendly.
This video was SOOOOO helpful, thank you! The snowman was my favorite 🤣🤣, but seriously this was very helpful!
THANK YOU! On my way to Lowes. My husband will be impressed..BTW nice snowman.
Thanks for this presentation. I have wood rot under a large window and this putty will be perfect to fill in the large sections of rotted wood I chipped out.
Well done, thank you so much. You have saved me thousands.
Good idea. Very quick to get to the fix. Entertaining as well.
Finally found a video that’ll help me repair my landscape timbers that have a bit of rot in them. Thanks so much!
Great to hear Yori and thanks so much for subscribing. I truly appreciate it.
Not cost effective for your application
Wow, I needed that info. Rotting beams on front of my house need repairing and seems easy enough. Thx
Just found your video on fixing the hole in your facia ....thank you!!!
I didn't even know this existed! Thank you for explaining and demonstrating so well.
No problem K and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed.
This is a band aid that will allow more rot. Be aware!
Great instructions for a newbie like me. Thank you!
Great info on repairing some wood rot damage on my 1927 home.
Nicely done video with clear explanatory steps.
I would never have imagined this. I always replaced full boards, other than one time, trying wood hardener. I wound up tearing out the treated boards and replacing.
I use the rot fix system and its very similar . One thing i do different, i'll coat wood chunks and wooden dowel rods to incorporate with the putty. It saves a lot of material.
Best video I have found on this subject. Thanks
used it many times over the years, great stuff
OUTSTANDING. Will do this.
Thank you so much. Love your snowman too!👍❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very interesting n informative video. I have a similar problem with 2 dry rotted ends of facia boards. Been looking for tips on how to repair it without replace the whole boards. With my limited carpentry skill n budget, ur vid gave me an idea how I can repair it. Will try ur tips. Previously bought Albatron supplies. Kudos for ur vid. New subscriber because of this vid. Looking forward to ur next vid.
Great video. Just the information I needed for my project.
Awesome 👍 thanks for showing us this work on your house.
Nice work! Especially when you don't have the carpentry tools to cut and replace the wood! Abatron.....I will try it!
Thanks for posting this video. This has been added to my fixit list.
This video was so satisfying to watch.
Wow, I wish I had known about this 2 weeks ago! I will remember this product, thank you
What a great video and such a good explanation. 👍Thank you.🙂
Amazing job! Well done! 👍🏽
Absolutely the video I needed. Quick and thorough.
This is a great video!! Very detailed! My husband and I re new home owners so we are trying to see what we can fix on our own. Videos like this is well needed to help give us and idea on what to do. Thank you!
I'm quite sure to run into or create additional problems trying to repalce the facia and soffit under the gutter, so this option works perfectly for me.
Find the water breach location, seal that, and apply this kit.
Thank you!
Thank you! Extremely Helpful 💯
Great product, I've used it for years
Very useful video. And love the snowman addition :-)
Very helpful! Great demo! Thanks you!

Nice video mate. Only issue I have with the product is the price....wow!!! I did learn a few things though so thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Fantastic!!! Thank you for creating and sharing. Peace and Perfect-Health.
This is gonna save me a lot of labor, thanks!
Great video, thanks from Brisbane, Australia!
Thanks for this video, I don't have tools so this is just what I need.
This was awesome tip. Thanks very much
THANK YOU‼I have repaired, or at least made an attempt, which went badly, my door jambs on my house. The south side of my New Mexico house gets a rotation of 100 degree summer sun, monsoon rains, hail, and freezing. This wood putty product may be my final fix. Stucco walls makes door replacement so tricky and expensive. 🤞that the wood fix kit gets it done for me. Thnx.
How sounds like your house is taking a beating outside haha. Let me know how the product does with stucco. Never tried that before and thanks so much for watching.
I dont exactly know why I clicked on this video but I stayed because your narration was enjoyable and learned a bit about liquid wood :) Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! What a great result!
Really good timing for me to come across this. I am selling my current home and have a spot above the garage where the siding has rotted. Not nearly as bad as what you just repaired, so this product is going to be the ticket.
Awesome . Thank you
Great job, great video!👍🏻
What a nice young man. Very smart.
Thanks for the kind words Randy and thanks so much for watching! Hope you subscribed.

Thanks!!!! Great video
I need to find me a man that knows how to make repairs like that!
Great video! Thank you!
He’s out there for ya ;) thanks for watching and hope you subscribed
Or learn how to yourself like any self respecting, independent woman should.
There is a product used in the boating industry that is a water thin epoxy. It penetrates extremely well. I’ve used it and it will soak into rotten wood and turn it into a rock. Soapy water instead of wd40 would be better and not leave a residue that might prevent paint from sticking as well as it should.
You can take a plastic shopping bag. Wring it out and keep it that way for a period of time. Depending on how fine the grain you want to match depends on how much to let the plastic bag out. Then use it to texture the wood filler before it cures or afterward with a thin top coat. Thanks for the product info. Ive used wood hardener and fiberglass resin many times but i may try this stuff on my newset fix
Awesome video!!! Thanks
There are wood grain tools that you can run across the surface when it's wet to simulate wood grain. Good video.
I have used a steel toothed brush comb, the kind of teeth that look like little awls. It's all about varying the angle of the handle relative to the direction you're sliding it along, so that the slight grooves carved by the teeth are variably farther apart and closer together. Do it when the epoxy is about half set, and leave any crumbs alone-- they will sand off later.
Thank you!
You da man. The Chrisfix of home improvement diy.
Vinny now THAT is a compliment haha. Love ChrisFix. Thanks so much for watching and your support. Hope you subscribed :)
....and that putty is the Bondo of wood rotting structure beams.
This is awesome for a door bottom or jam!! Thank you.
great suggestion Kirk and thanks so much fo watching. Hope you subscribed.
Excellent Video all the way around!
Great to hear! Hanks so much for watching Tracy and hope you subscribed.
Thanks for your video showing this product. I will be looking to purchase it for my house. Do think WD40 , even though it does smooth out the surface when using a spreader, it surely must compromise the strength somewhat as it mixes in. I have a log house and when trying to apply the chinking, I use alcohol. this does the same thing and evaporates fully leaving no residue. This also works great when running beads of caulk. I like to tool the bead with my finger so I fill a small cup with alcohol and dip my finger in it, then smooth out the bead. It slides so well without pulling the product.
Your video was great, I thoroughly enjoyed that you gave good advise without the normal "I love hearing my own voice" great job
Great info and Ideas!!
One of the very best products I've ever used just ensure remove all dust loose material followall instructions
I use Bondo works awesome!,
Thanks
Thank you 😊
Backer board wood material and bondo can also be a great wood repair option and very cost effective.
