Description

The filler should be mixed with the catalyst in the following proportions: Use a pea sized amount of catalyst to a golf ball sized amount of filler. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or knife using a spreading action, until no streaks remain and the colour is uniform. The hardened wood filler may be painted with most types of paint to produce a tough, durable repair. Condensation can gather around windows and cause rot when droplets pool and sit on the wood for a long time. Regularly open windows when cooking or use a dehumidifier to help improve air circulation and reduce condensation.

Ensure the area is well ventilated during use and curing time. If using in doors ensure all doors and windows are open. Apply the mixed paste immediately to the area to be repaired. A thin coating should be knifed well in, followed by enough paste to fill the repair, leaving slightly proud to allow for rubbing down. To help the wood hardener penetrate deeper, drill small holes into the rotten area. It’s worth drilling holes in the area that’s slightly beyond the rotten wood to ensure the rot doesn’t spread.Whichever kind of rot you have, you’re more likely to be able to smell damp before you see the rot. When the hardener is dry, the rotten wood should be healthy again. If there is any excess or residue hardener, scrub it away with a wire brush. Dry rot is a fungus which consumes wood as it spreads so can be damaging to structural integrity. Leaks, damp or poor ventilation are often the cause of dry. Start by removing crumbling wood that easily comes away and make sure the area is dry. You’ll know if you need to replace the timber if it doesn’t stop crumbling, or significant portions come away. At normal temperatures the mix will have a working time of about 10 minutes. After 20 minutes the mix will be hard enough to carve into shape using a sharp modelling knife. After 30 minutes it is hard enough to be planed, filed or sanded.

Dry rot changes appearance as it progresses. In early stages, it can look like a fine white thread, as it grows it looks more like cotton wool. When it develops its ‘fruit’, it looks more like a mushroom with an orangey tinge.Wet rot is more common and affects very damp wood but can affect plaster, wallpaper and carpets too.

Depending on the scale of dry rot, it’s worth consulting a specialist. This is worth doing because dry rot spreads so easily that it may have infected other areas that you’re unaware of.
