Abatron LiquidWood soaks in and makes rotten wood solid again
Rotted wood feels soft and spongy because the fibers have broken down. You can dig it out and graft in a new piece, or you can put the strength back into the wood that’s already there. Abatron LiquidWood does the second one.
It’s a thin, low-viscosity epoxy. You brush or pour it onto decayed wood and it wicks down into the grain, then cures hard. The soft spot turns firm again. It works indoors and out, on structural pieces and decorative ones. It also goes on as the primer coat right before you pack in WoodEpox filler, so the two bond as one repair.

Comes in 6 oz, pint, quart, and gallon. There’s a Standard formula and a Cold formula made for working in 35 to 60 degree temperatures.
