LiquidWood can be poured, brushed, or injected into areas of rot and reinforces, rebuilds and waterproofs wood by hardening after penetrating. 

Considered both a consolidant and a primer.

  • Consolidant: Consolidation with LiquidWood is the restoration and reinforcement of wood by impregnation with a special resin that hardens after penetrating. With LiquidWood, a piece of deteriorated wood that would crumble under finger pressure can be impregnated and restored to rigidity, durability, water, insect and weather resistance superior to that of the original wood.
  • Primer: LiquidWood is also a primer and surface consolidant on rotted and porous surfaces, for subsequent applications of WoodEpox, paints or glues.

LiquidWood consists of 2 clear liquids: the resin (A), and the hardener (B). When A and B are mixed by simple stirring, a blend is formed with unusual properties to impregnate and restore wood and other porous masses.

Restore Rotted Wood in Three Easy Steps

  1. Prepare wood: Remove old paint, dirt and debris. Clean oily surfaces with detergent, water or solvents.
  2. Apply LiquidWood: To strengthen the wood, apply LiquidWood with a brush, or pour directly on the surface. LiquidWood penetrates and hardens.
  3. Apply WoodEpox (sold separately): To rebuild missing pieces of wood and fill cracks and holes, apply WoodEpox. When hard, sand, paint, stain and nail.

Note: 2 pints/quarts/gallons means 1 part of each A & B for  two parts total. (e.g. 1 pint A and 1 pint B = 2 pint kit).
Note: You can thin Liquid Wood with Acetone (the makers of Liquid Wood suggest using either Abasolv-their private label and tough to ship, Zylene of MEK to dilute Liquid Wood), to get a consistency similar to CPES, however it won't have quite the structural capabilities that undiluted Liquid Wood has. 
Normally this isn't a problem as in log repairs the liquid epoxies are used to fill in the areas where some (punky) wood remains and your goal is to get a consistency to the liquid such that it will flow into these areas.
Note: Wood needs to be dry to use Liquid Wood. You can accomplish this by brushing on either Isopropyl Alcohol or Acetone, which mix with the water and quickly evaporate. It's always best to to use a moisture meter to verify wood is dry. Think about this for a moment...if you leave damp/wet wood behind your patch, there is a chance of the rot process continuing behind the patch, rotting new wood, destabilizing your patch (it would now be attached to rotted wood), and your patch would eventually fall out.
Note: Use above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Or apply heat lamps, torpedo heater or other heat source to area within 2 hours of application. Sooner is better.

WoodEpox
CRP0015

WoodEpox is a structural adhesive putty. Most versatile, high-strength, no-shrink adhesive paste to fill, repair and replace wood. Consists of 2 parts: the resin paste and hardener paste that come packaged separately and you mix them together to use. 

  • Bonds permanently with high strength to most rigid surfaces
  • Fills cracks, holes and voids of any size without the shrinking and crumbling typical of common wood fillers
  • Can be sawed, nailed, planed, sanded and machined like wood

WoodEpox is a light-weight structural adhesive putty system and wood substitute consisting of 2 components: resin paste (A) and hardener paste (B). 
When A and B are mixed, the blend hardens within 1-2 hours into a lighter-than-water non-shrinking, tough adhesive mass with high dimensional stability, chemical, water, heat and weather resistance. 
Its appearance is a light neutral color that can be changed, while mixing, with stains, dyes or pigments. 
It has a no-slump paste consistency that allows it to be applied like putty to fill gaps, holes, or to build up virtually any thickness and shape.

Remember
Paste Epoxy (WoodEpox) is for filling, adding and building up.
Liquid Epoxy (LiquidWood) is for penetrating and solidify punky areas.
