Rebuild rotted wood instead of replacing it
A soft, spongy windowsill doesn’t have to mean a new sill. With the Abatron wood restoration kit you repair the wood you already have, in two parts.
First comes LiquidWood. It’s a thin epoxy that soaks deep into rotted or dried-out wood and hardens it back to solid. Then WoodEpox, a thick filler you pack into the missing spots. It doesn’t shrink, and once it cures you can sand it, drill it, plane it, stain it, and paint it like the wood around it.
What’s in the kit
12 oz of LiquidWood (parts A and B), 12 oz of WoodEpox (parts A and B), a 4 oz applicator bottle, a putty knife, a 1 oz measuring cup, a mixing stick, gloves, and instructions. Pick the 24 oz kit for repairs or the 4-quart kit for bigger jobs.
Where it works
Windowsills, frames, columns, doors, moldings, clapboards, balustrades, and furniture. Anywhere wood has gone soft and you would rather fix it than replace it. GREENGUARD certified for low chemical emissions.
