J-B Weld 40006 Wood Restore Premium Epoxy Putty Kit - 32 oz.

The epoxy putty works very well with building up worn and missing wood. With a wet, gloved finger, the putty can be feathered out to require less shaping after it cures.

I'm impressed. I have wood windows. I'm replacing my wood storms with aluminum. I had one window on the north side of the house that has a rotted frame. I gutted out several years ago, replaced the brick mold with composite, cleaned up the wood storm and it dried out inside very nicely. So I used this stuff. I kneaded it as instructed. I pushed down inside but even after 30 minutes it was soft. After a full hour, the surface was pretty hard. I tried sanding and underneath was soft. I simply waited. It got nice and hard, was easy to sand with a power sander. I did not get a before photo, but the area where the stain is is where the filler was put in. I'm impressed. I have a rotted board on one of our Adirondack chairs, I'm going to try this on that next.

This is a good product. It is easy to mix, doesn't tend to stick to your hands if you mix without gloves, and takes paint well. I'm an electrician and from time to time in residential and commercial applications need to fill a hole or patch a wall and this stuff sets up relatively quickly; it doesn't set up as fast as Bondo or relatively dry mixed Water Putty but does reach a hard set within 40 minutes or so. While this isn't as hard when set as Bondo it is just as, if not more, weather resistant and can be drilled nicely. My only downsides are two fold it is of a strange consistency, not thin and not thick, this can be an upside but means it can't easily be troweled or flattened with a putty knife to get as neat of a finish, without sanding, as Bondo, and it also isn't as thick as J-B Welds stick epoxies meaning it can't be rough formed as well either. I find I use this to fill gaps then cover with either Bondo, Water Putty, or Spackle depending on need. While this will set underwater it is much to thin to do so as effectively as their Marine Stick, but it has worked in the rain with a little protection. I like this, even though it is MUCH more expensive than Duct Seal, to fill gaps and penetrations that don't need a fire rating, as it sets relatively hard. *I would not this is electrically non-conductive and proves a good insulator under CAT III/IV conditions up to and probably even past 1,000 Volts. in a pinch I used this to temporarily fix a glass insulator which broke and for which I didn't have a spare on hand; it worked so well with 0 bleed I almost considered leaving it.

WARNING - UPDATE 4/15/2017: I bought another box of this on Jet for using at my new house, and it was COUNTERFEIT. Not sealed, never hardened after use, and bright yellow color. If you have any problems with this awesome product, it might be fake! ORIGINAL - This is a real review- I did not get any discounts or anything. I searched for it out of the blue on my own. Used this to fix up some rotting wood sills outside after watching a YouTube video of the this is old house guy who said to use 'wood epoxy' . I couldn't find the brand he had so I chose this. Worked great. Is extra hard so if you're using push points to replace a glass window it's a little harder to get them in. The stuff is much thicker than wood filler, and thicker than the wood epoxy used in the YouTube videos.. It's more the consistency of regular J-B Weld. But you can put a little water on your fingers to help smooth it, and that worked really really well. I'm impressed. I think I actually prefer this to the runny stuff that wouldn't keep its shape - especially for huge gaps. It sands very nicely also. Would (update: actually did) buy again. The only downside is it's kind of expensive for doing large areas. PS I'm a girl that's not at all handy, and this was a fun project I could do on my own. Tips: It takes a while to mix it (kneed it), and it does get softer the more you kneed. Don't use it until it's a uniform color - I've read that's the most common mistake.

I'm surprised more people don’t talk about this product. It’s incredibly easy to use, and once it dries, it’s as hard as wood. It’s been a game-changer for my furniture refinishing side business. Antique pieces often come with missing wood, dents, or deep scratches—but this stuff works like modeling clay, letting me reshape and repair anything seamlessly. I can make it look like the damage was never there. This is a must-have that’ll always have a place in my garage

Très bonne qualité et utile pour de grosses réparations
