you could learn from the old guy that made a how to fix a rotten sill video he teaches you how to actually make a video without all the B.S. like your adding and it was done under 2 min 😉 btw folks you can use epoxy as well 😉
why not just replace that section? much quicker
Awesome 👍 thanks for showing us this work on your house.
Can you stain this product vs. prime and paint?
here this is simple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSpwKTWYnJQ
Wow
I like it.
It just seems a more appropriate solution than the standby BONDO.
The epoxy healer has a lot to do with that.
Dude , what’s going on with your house ?? Too much neglect to begin with !
In my opinion that’s just putting a bandaid on it won’t last that long looks good but best is to change the wood for longer lasting
Bondo is far less expensive.
Just what I was looking for! Thanks. Looks like a great product , no surprise that it has great ratings.
Incredible video!!! Thank you for teaching me new stuff!! My question would be, how do you dry the wood that is outside like this, and when do you know it is dry, because on the video it still look dark and wet
This looks awesome, but dang that price tag is crazy high, yeah maybe more convenient than replacing wood but at almost 40x the cost? Hoping it’s just a third party selling trying to price gouge and it’ll come down to a more realistic price later. Otherwise comparable wood epoxy products are like 1/10th the cost.
You could use a handheld belt sander and 60 or 80 grit and sand with the grain and get a much better match between the original cedar texture and the filler. Using a rotary sander or orbital sander is for ELIMINATING details in the surface. Never gonna match up that way.
Lmao, laughed and learned
Great information , u did a very good job on this video, but u might add this Comment, If u have "Wood Pecker" holes, in your siding, there could be Wood Pecker Fledglings inside those holes !! A person should wait way past Spring, check to make sure there is nothing living inside or nests, before attempting to fill in those holes !!
I believe "WOOD PECKERS" r a Protected Species !!
How strong is that material? will is strenghten old rooted wood in a way you can use it for years to come?
nice job
You will find out soon enough that the rot will be back with a vengeance. You are closing in water in the wood and applying a material that has a totally different elasticity, inviting cranking and rotting. Easiest and most sensible method is replacing this part of the wood with new wood. In this case it actually would have been much cleaner and quicker. A little chiselling and sawing.
Good idea. Very quick to get to the fix. Entertaining as well.
Thank you sir
👍🏾👍🏾
id personally just replace the wood batten myself. easy job. MUCH better long term fix. Get yourself a drill and a circular saw and your set.
ABATRON kit is way too expensive.
at 5 min its also so much work and expense you could have just replace the board and been done w it.
Dude this video was solid! Holy crap you make it look so easy and shoot you make my job a whole lot easier! I was thinkin of prying some boards down and all kinds of stuff but this seems to be a good fix!
if something is that big and there is a hole quit being so lazy and replace the board sheesh
great video – I just watched a woodrot video on the youtube channel, the honest carpenter,. between the two of you we got this!!
is it a good idea to put a wood piece inside the hole forsupport?
All great, except that martha stewart….accent…lol
Now that’s an impressive diy!
Is this a commercial?
at 10:30 you are trying to repair furniture right? I am no expert. I am a homeowner…and it’s better than any alternative bc I have a million tools (but I mostly use the couch tool). Thank you for the video. Thumbs up and subscribe!
Don’t you think it would’ve been better if you would’ve put a piece of wood inside for more support?
80 grit to 120..
Can yo use it to repair under a toilet where some wood has rotted but not going through the whole floor?
Most annoying voice.
If you fill a hole like that with J B Weld, the house will never fall down.
What a great video and such a good explanation. 👍Thank you.🙂
I would have just replaced the boards, cheaper, that kits is about 140 dollars, just saying
It rotted in the first place because of poor ventilation…
Awesome 😎 good job
Great info and Ideas!!
Great vid. Thank you!
Great channel. Came here and found solutions for three projects I have. Thanks!
I live in Florida and this spring pileated woodpeckers attacked my siding. Might try this rather than an expensive contractor solution.
Amazing !!
You can also purchase resin it’s self for decently cheap and it goes a very long way I happened to have badass yacht resin and it is magic
Awesome . Thank you
Very interesting n informative video. I have a similar problem with 2 dry rotted ends of facia boards. Been looking for tips on how to repair it without replace the whole boards. With my limited carpentry skill n budget, ur vid gave me an idea how I can repair it. Will try ur tips. Previously bought Albatron supplies. Kudos for ur vid. New subscriber because of this vid. Looking forward to ur next vid.
How did you get rid of the rot? Did you treat it with something to stop it?
