41700000 High Performance Wood Hardener, pint

This is an excellent example of getting the "right tool for the right job".... I had a wicker garden sofa that had been moved from the patio to the grass...and needless to say, the wood posts within the wicker became soft and rotten in very short order. I was going to just toss the whole thing when this idea came to me: fill up a tin can with the Wood Hardener and place each leg in the can. So i gave each leg and good proper soak in the wood hardener, and then did it again, and VOILA!! The legs are LIKE NEW. Firm and hard, no more mushy soft legs! (of course, I immediately moved it onto the deck where that won't happen again.) Miracle stuff!!

This product is used to stabilize punky or slightly rotted wood. I use in wood turning when I want to stabilize a piece that has interesting color but is a bit soft. The hardener will soak in and must be allowed to dry before using. I have also used it for repairs (house, e.g. window frames usually on the bottom where water has caused some damage. Once the liquid has dried the wood has hardened and can be repaired if needed with corresponding filler product, sanded and refinished. Drill first if using screws. Liquid is very sticky and can be brushed on. I use two "coats" when the damage is extensive. The filler drys very hard so try to get the filling smooth and use two fillings if damage is deep.

I used this on a window sill that was starting to rot. It soaks into the wood and makes it hard enough to caulk and paint. Much easier than replacing a whole window.

I was doing a repair project for my wife’s wooden porch swing. The arm rests had quite a bit of rot with one I thought would need replacing. I heard about Minwax Wood Hardener so I thought I’d give it a try before ripping pieces apart. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it actually worked. I followed the directions and it is amazing how stable the wood became. It took a little effort to shape one of the rests after applying a wood filler but with patience and a good sanding I got it right. I applied the hardener to one seat slat and a few other spots and it’s like concrete! I actually placed a couple of screws through some areas and it’s holding up. It saved me from having to buy limber and making saw cuts. You can even paint over it. Very satisfied.

I love this stuff and have used it for years! Its great for fighting dry-rot in thresholds, mouldings, door casings, and window frames. it makes a huge mess if you spill in though! I use a small mixing container and a 1/2" disposable brush to apply it generously and then give it plenty of time to seep in and dry. It works best in porous wood.

I just worked on someone’s deck that a lot of wood areas that were literally rotten and were about ready to fall apart. Surprisingly, you can use this and its chemical bins with the wood and creates almost like a plastic sort of composite wood. You might have to do it a few times to get it to really soak in. After it’s all dry and then use a wood epoxy on top to level everything out. Now I’ve done this before and it’s lasted for years. It’s extremely durable. It definitely soaks in the wood, rot and hardens it up. Very impressed.

Fue exactamente lo que necesitaba buena calidad 👌

In my opinion, this is the best wood restoration product on the market today. I bought a can of this and then I purchased two more. I recently purchased 5 on top of that. This product has the same smell and consistency of really thin model glue. Make sure that all wood that can break off or flake off is removed and the area cleaned. Ensure that your area has proper ventilation. Wear rubber gloves and spread it with a sponge by squeezing generous amounts over the compromised wood. This produce quickly penetrates the smallest pores, holes, and cracks and hardens like a rock. It will provide a solid foundation for adding structural wood resin when filling small areas that are missing wood. It can be primed and painted following a cure time of 2-4 hours. I would wait 24 hours just to be safe but 2-4 hours is sufficient. I have used this to shore small areas of water damaged plywood when replacing siding. Cedar siding is expensive. Why tear away all that siding to replace a whole sheet of plywood when only a small area is damaged? This is perfect for a DIY-er dealing with time and/or budget constraints. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Works well, easy to use, easy clean-up. Recommended

Yep it worked

It does a good job of solidifying punky wood, and dries fast. It took half a can to deal with four picnic table legs, so it's not cheap.

Worked as expected ...
