[Abatron, Kenosha WI] A structural adhesive putty composed 2-part epoxy filled with microballoons. WoodEpox® is a high-strength, no-shrink, lightweight, light-colored compound that can be used in any thickness to fill, replace, and repair wood and other materials. It can be painted, stained, sanded and worked like wood. WoodEpox® can be used for structures, floors, windowsills and frames, moldings, moldings, furniture and sculpture. In addition to wood, the product bonds well to ceramics, concrete, metal and glass. The working time is about 20 minutes. According to the manufacturer, WoodEpox® is 100% epoxy and contains no VOCs or water. A companion product, LiquidWood®, may be used for deeper penetration or as a priming layer. WoodEpox® is a permanent treatment for wood and cannot be safely removed. | [Abatron, Kenosha WI] A structural adhesive putty composed 2-part epoxy filled with microballoons.
