Abatron Wood Restoration Kit - 24 Ounce - Includes LiquidWood Epoxy Resin Wood Hardener and WoodEpox Wood Filler

I had purchased this product from this seller November 22, 2016 but the 'leave a review' button is gone but I wanted to leave one now bc I just used the product:)So it took awhile for me to get the courage to do this project but today, I didn't think about it I just did it. I looked at the online videos a few times, read the instructs a few times and then got started.I'm repairing a wood floor from 1946 (I know this is original bc I've taken out a couple of walls and the floor was underneath and already stained). This was a previous doorway before someone else took out that wall. When I bought the house there was carpet down so I didn't know about it. Took out the carpet and HORRORS! I thought I would have to have the wood cut out and maybe put a perpendicular long piece in w supports under the floor etc. Research always gives more than one solution:) I found this and I knew I could do it and save a lot of $.When I got the Liquid Wood painted on I realized I didn't know when to put the Woodepox in... wait or immediate? So... I took a chance (it's Sunday), several ppl answered:). The seller gave me really good advice and the one following him in the post. 5-20 minutes said the seller and the other guy said he waited about an hour. I'd already waited about two hours but my stuff was soaked and just right... tacky to the touch. So I mixed up my play doh and started squeezing it into all the rotten crevices and smashed and smashed it in then leveled it off as best I could. I did all the holes, one after the other then went back and smoothed a bit with the alcohol. I poured some alcohol into a plastic cat food dish (I save these bc they are so great for painting on canvas and small jobs) and smoothed out the surface with the mud knife. It had already started getting firm but the alcohol made it pliable a bit again.When I painted on the Liquid Wood I used a paintbrush from my art set, a 1/2 inch across brush. Some of the crevices were under the wood so I couldn't see how far back or big so I poured the liquid on top of the brush next to the hole and just dabbed everywhere the brush would go and then I wouldn't waste the liquid trying to scoop it up into holes. This worked great. I coated everything about three times. I had mixed one ounce each of A and B of the liquid and had trouble using it all. There was more than enough even though I had a lot to cover. There's lots left over too. I did use all the Woodepox though. I realized it was best to take smaller amounts of each, mix them together then add some more bc the color has to be one color when the mixing is done. With the larger amount it seemed to take forever to get it to be one color. I just put it out on a plastic grocery bag and put my feet at either end of the bag to hold it down. Some pieces would fall out of my ball of play doh and I would just dab it up with the ball in my hand. Super easy to work with. I used the gloves but they must have been super man's:) Huge! I could have used my hair coloring gloves and the fit would be better. It did the job though. I'll try and post some pics of my pitiful floor. I know this is extremely amateurish but I wish I'd seen something similar while I was trying to work up the courage to start. Had no idea except the directions on what to do and I did just fine:)

We weren’t in a position to tear out/replace damaged wood on our house but definitely needed a fast and non-complicated alternative. I had seen this product on Youtube (of course), watched a few tutorial videos and as I could not locate this locally, ordered it from Amazon. WOW!!! It really was as easy (NOTE: it is important to read the information and instructions BEFORE using this) as the videos showed! Yesterday my husband smoothly and successfully made the vital repairs to an area of our house without any stress. In the spring we will purchase a larger kit and make similar repairs to our barn. If you need to replace rotted or damaged wood quickly with something which will last, is both paintable and stainable and will withstand all weather conditions, THIS is the product to purchase!!! It is amazingly wonderful.

This is the Stuff !!! My front porch columns were splitting and rotting. I did the 1st one yesterday, it's got a few more hours to cure, but just to the touch you can tell that it will work fine. It feels quite solid. I can't wait to sand and paint and get my porch presentable again.You got splitting or rotten wood, but you'd rather salvage than replace ? this is your answer.

Instructions Easy. Read First to have your Supplies Ready. Restore and Renew :-)

The kit did the job. Only complaint (minor) was that one of the WoodEpox materials seemed to be surprisingly "flakey" which made it a little difficult to mix/knead.I can understand how the LiquidWood can protect wood, it dried to an apparently hard finish.I will revisit the product after a period of time to determine its true efficacy.

Purchased 2 of these kits to repair wood rot on some window trim boards vs. replacing part or all of the trim. The instructions were clear, the kit came with all of the necessary tools (except for drill, drill bit, sand paper, paint), and the steps were easy to perform. Products applied easily to wood surface, sanded well, and accepted primer and final paint coats well. Time will tell how well the product holds up but it did great through the first hot Summer season.

Wish I had taken a before pic. Bottom was a rotten mess. I would have just replaced the door but it’s about impossible to buy a good wood exterior door…and I don’t want a steel door. I used the liquid hardener first (it’s literally Viagra for wood) lol. Only used half of it. I used every bit of the filler! Filler is difficult to mix thoroughly. I actually mixed it by hand ( wear rubber gloves)!After 50 bucks for it I sure hoped it worked out for me, and it certainly did. Rotted wood is now rock hard. I have it all painted now and ready to go back up.My kitties will be glad to see their little secure door back…although with the door missing for 2 days they’ve had easy entry into the garage anyway.I built houses for 50 years and am very handy and this was easy for me. Hope it is for you.A hint, I just dipped the plastic spatula in water and smoothed the filler. It worked so well that I did very little sanding.

The liquid epoxy did not cure and added hours of "repair" work to my project. Instructions were carefully followed, tried 3 batches of it, and none of it worked properly. Left an extremely tacky surface and was not hardened after days of proper curing. Used 2 other 2-part epoxy brands with basically identical instructions that cured just fine and had no issues with at all.
