When temperatures are 65-90☏, use TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy. Different formulas for different temperature rangesįor temperatures from 40-65☏, use TotalBoat Cold Weather Penetrating Epoxy. The longer cure time is definitely worth the longer-lasting protection and the time and money you saved preserving existing wood. Since it sticks better, it’ll stay stronger longer to keep UV-resistant topcoats from failing. TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy cures slightly slower in order to create a hard, waterproof surface that not only prevents rot, but provides a stable coating for varnish, primer, or paint to adhere to more tenaciously.

The longer an epoxy takes to go off, the deeper into wood it will seep. Make topcoats stick better and last longer It sinks deeply into dry, punky wood and strengthens it.
#Epoxy resin rottenwood series#
Since it’s hard to know exactly where the rotted and the healthy wood meet, especially in cases of extreme rot, drill a series of holes into the decayed wood and inject Penetrating Epoxy to start the restoration process. As it cures, it effectively bonds the rotted wood and the sound wood to restore structural integrity. It penetrates both the porous, rotted areas, and the surrounding, healthy wood. Our penetrating epoxy works from the inside out to saturate rotted wood deeply. Stop active rot, strengthen wood, and prevent further deterioration beneath the surface

And, because there are no harmful VOCs, there’s no toxic odor. Low viscosity and 100% solids formula means more material to fill the grain, seal the wood more completely, and provide extended protection against rot-causing moisture. At a 2:1 instead of 1:1 mix, it’s only slightly thicker than other penetrating sealers, but that’s a good thing. TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy is designed to sink in deeper and cure stronger than other epoxies, without the odor or harmful VOCs. High-solids, low-viscosity, no-odor formula seals and protects new wood NOTE: Measure the precise 2:1 ratio with the calibrated TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Pumps (sold separately), or manually by weight or volume.Sizes: Available in Pint, Quart, Half-Gallon, and Gallon Kit sizes.Available in two formulas: Regular (65-90☏) and Cold Weather (40-65☏).Common paint solvents such as acetone may be added to increase wood saturation depth.Penetrates more deeply and cures to a softer, more flexible material than 5:1 epoxy resins.Cured epoxy improves adhesion of paint and varnish, extending service life.
