Just bought a home that needs a lot of TLC repairs- to save money I will do most of the work myself, YouTube is my best friend and this video and others have inspired me! Thanks❤

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🤔☺

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’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!

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.

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.

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.

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". 😇

Thank you so much! My poor house had been neglected by previous owners! This will save me time and money!

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.

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 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.

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.

Excellent presentation. I plan to buy the putty and hardener kit and get started. Thank 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.

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.

[jameskinnally]

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!
