Abatron WoodEpox Kit - 12 oz - 2-Part Structural Epoxy Adhesive Filler - Wood Filler Putty

I actually like this stuff for filling "happy accidents" in paint grade projects. I will note that what I have is very soft and easy to mix the two parts in your hand. I suggest to the reviewers that are saying the product is dry, crumbly, difficult to mix. etc that they have bad product and should return it. This stuff, when right, is easy to combine and easy to place. I seriously don't recommend replacing huge sections of rotted wood with it though, the cost is prohibitive for that. Saw out the bad lumber and replace it. Use this stuff to conceal the joints, screw holes and the like. If you happen to drill a hole in the wrong place, this product works great to make that go away. It does cure rather slow, so don't expect 5 minute epoxy. Not the answer to every problem but worth having around the shop for sure.

This stuff work amazingly well. Used to patch a porch column that had some water damage, but was otherwise structurally sound. Sands easy, and easy to work into the spot. Cures fairly quickly and is really a solid repair.

This wood putty is awesome to work with. Simply mix equal parts of each and have at it. I found it easier to mix in my hand after the initial mix with a spatula then mixing it all on a solid surface. Putty worked great at filling in holes in our wooden deck posts after removing the railing. Dries rock solid, but was easy to sand down. I would recommend for small to medium repairs.

Overall, it is a good product that drys into a very stable substance that is very hard, tool-able, and paint-able. But, it doesn't work like the traditional putties that I've used. It is not always easy to work , because of it's stiff , yet still pliable consistency. So, once I pressed it into the hole I was filling, it was difficult to trowel it down with a putty knife, in order to level it off to the hole's upper edge. So, since I didn't realize how hard it would be to level it with a putty knife, I ended up putting too much woodepox in the hole. Normally, I think most people would rectify this issue by aggressively sanding it down to the hole's edge, and the level of the the item being filled, but I was working in a very tight fitting area, which had no room for aggressive sanding. So, I don't recommend using this product in a very tight area, unless you don't care about how it will look, and just want a functional fill that does the job of keeping the area protected from the elements. And, I also don't recommend using this product in an area that is difficult to access with an electric sander, because if you put in in too high, then you're stuck with it being too high. On the flip side, it is easy to mix, and can be done by hand,. I spooned equal portions of part A and B onto a board, and then picked it up with my hand, and mixed it by hand , while wearing latex gloves. No accurate measuring is necessary, and eye- balling the equal proportions is adequate, and I've had no problems with getting the right amounts .. So , while mixing, and kneading it by hand, it is ready to use when there is a uniform color throughout, with no streaking that is caused by one of the parts not being completely mixed in. So, when it is uniform in color, and feels like a stiff, yet pliable clay , it is ready to be pushed into the opened area.. Overall, this material dries to an amazingly hard substance that looks as though it will last for years. But, learning how to work it, at least for myself, will take more practice.

I have used Elmer's exterior wood repair kit in the past w/good results. However, that product is no longer available so I gave this Abatron Epoxy exterior wood repair kit a try based on reviews. I am pleased with the results of this product and it is a good replacement for the Elmer's kit noted above. Very similar in use and application and the results are as expected. Good for minor wood repair projects and possibly larger ones although a larger quantity would be necessary based project size. Kinda pricey but this allows for minor repair of exterior wood issues without having to replace wood trim which would be far more expensive than this repair kit.

This product is great if you need to match the profile of the non-rotted wood. I used it to repair the rotted wood corner of a door, which I thought would be impossible to repair without replacing the wood. It has a long work time, unlike some epoxies and is easy to sand, especially with a Drexel Multi-Max. You can shape it with tools. I actually used a paint stick and popsicle sticks to match the existing door edges. You want to make sure you mix the two parts well and is a solid tan color. If you don’t mix well, you won’t get a good cure and the stuff will crumble. Found that out on my first attempt using the product. It is expensive compared to other wood fillers, but the ability to work it really stands out. Bondo wood filler works well to fill large areas, but is better on flat surfaces because it sets up too fast and is too mushy to work before it hardens. QuikWood is easy to use and works well for filling holes, but much firmer so hard to use to match a profile. The non-epoxy wood fillers have not given me lasting repairs on exterior wood. The stuff also goes a long way. I’ve used the same small containers to make multiple repairs. You also want to make sure you use a wood hardener on the rotted wood (e.g. LiquidWood) to give the epoxy a firm surface to stick to. If possible, I drive stainless steel screws into the hardened rot into the fresh wood underneath, leaving the screw head and part of the screw out to give the epoxy more to adhere to and provide a stronger repair.

I was shocked at how little you get for $25. When I saw the little containers, I immediately felt ripped off. However…this stuff truly is amazing! Super easy to use - it mixes like putty, is very easy to handle and apply, and dries strong. I love this stuff! Best wood filler ever! And, I have to admit, it actually went a long way, and lasted way longer, and than I would have thought.

I understand binary products. Each of these components was quite dry. It took about 10+ minutes using a paint mixing stick pounding the two parts together. Really … pounding. Finally I was able to get the two items of different color into a new mixed color. Directions did not describe that this was to Be expected. At this point the consistency was very very dry and it had tendency to flake apart. I was patching a whole in a wood board. It was so dry that I could not use a putty knife to apply it into the hole. I ended up using disposal gloves and pushing it into the hole. It was not easy to form it into the space. It did dry and was able to be sanded and then painted. I’m unsure, if this was typical behavior or if the product was old or whatever. But it did work. If my experience was typical of what to expect, the instructions should state that. It did not shrink when it dried and that is what I needed, solid and no shrinkage and paintable. So 3 stars.
