PC ProductsPC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 16 oz, Milky White 164440

Worked exactly how I wanted it to. I was in a weird position as I wanted to make my decorative piece of Japanese cedar tougher and more resistant to scratches and dents. I put this on one side of the slab, consistency is similar to water, waited for it to absorb and then basically did it again. Did this for about 2 hours until the wood stopped absorbing, and now the slap is beautiful and doesn’t dent. It’s been about 6 months and I haven’t observed any yellowing either

This worked really well to stop the rot and flacking of an old chest. It dries relatively fast and didn’t stain the finish

Really don’t know if it will work as stated but it’s worth a shot ! Easy to apply .Purchased this product to repair our 34 year old treated wood outside decks (3) . Generally (99%) of the decking material was solid but had grain separation. We had scheduled to have the decksk painted but elected to do this repair prior to painting to see if we can get a few more years out of them. Will sand and have the decks repainted next summer .

Works as advertised. Just make sure the rotted area is free of dirt and dry any dirt or moisture. I like to use an air sprayer ro blow all the dirt and loose debris out of a rotted area.

Great wood preservative. Hardens very fast and waterproofs.

Easy to use and hardens the rotten joists up well. First I cleared any loose rotten wood. I applied the hardener with a paint brush. It was easy to use and hardens up quickly. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.

Used P-C Petrifier which had the consistency of milk. Likely diluted glue. Used the product on very Rotten wood in a tight place, using a syringe with a needle I got from a Farm-Ranch Supply. I saturate the rotten wood, but it did not dry in a day. Took about a week. Even then the wood was not fully hard, but slightly spongy in places. After a week plus delay I purchased some two part Epoxy and squirted this into the wood thru small holes I drilled. This did the trick. Now I know not to use this P-C Petrifier for severely rotten wood but use PC Rot Terminator, a two part epoxy formulated for penetrating and sealing/waterproofing rotten wood. The Epoxy is fairly think, but barely thin enough uptake in the syringe, very slow going with a large needle. Squirting out was easier than uptake into the syringe. Regular two part epoxy was to thick to uptake in to a syringe the same way.

Hardens wood perfectly
