41700000 High Performance Wood Hardener, pint

This is an excellent example of getting the "right tool for the right job".... I had a wicker garden sofa that had been moved from the patio to the grass...and needless to say, the wood posts within the wicker became soft and rotten in very short order. I was going to just toss the whole thing when this idea came to me: fill up a tin can with the Wood Hardener and place each leg in the can. So i gave each leg and good proper soak in the wood hardener, and then did it again, and VOILA!! The legs are LIKE NEW. Firm and hard, no more mushy soft legs! (of course, I immediately moved it onto the deck where that won't happen again.) Miracle stuff!!

This product is used to stabilize punky or slightly rotted wood. I use in wood turning when I want to stabilize a piece that has interesting color but is a bit soft. The hardener will soak in and must be allowed to dry before using. I have also used it for repairs (house, e.g. window frames usually on the bottom where water has caused some damage. Once the liquid has dried the wood has hardened and can be repaired if needed with corresponding filler product, sanded and refinished. Drill first if using screws. Liquid is very sticky and can be brushed on. I use two "coats" when the damage is extensive. The filler drys very hard so try to get the filling smooth and use two fillings if damage is deep.

I used this on a window sill that was starting to rot. It soaks into the wood and makes it hard enough to caulk and paint. Much easier than replacing a whole window.

I was doing a repair project for my wife’s wooden porch swing. The arm rests had quite a bit of rot with one I thought would need replacing. I heard about Minwax Wood Hardener so I thought I’d give it a try before ripping pieces apart. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it actually worked. I followed the directions and it is amazing how stable the wood became. It took a little effort to shape one of the rests after applying a wood filler but with patience and a good sanding I got it right. I applied the hardener to one seat slat and a few other spots and it’s like concrete! I actually placed a couple of screws through some areas and it’s holding up. It saved me from having to buy limber and making saw cuts. You can even paint over it. Very satisfied.

The best for stabilizing rotten wood before turning.

Does a great job on rotted wood. Repainting a flower deck found some rotted places. I didnt want to replace the wood so I used this to return hardness to the wood and used wood bondo to fill the spots. Sanded it and paint came out great. I don't know how long it will last but I will see.

I love this stuff and have used it for years! Its great for fighting dry-rot in thresholds, mouldings, door casings, and window frames. it makes a huge mess if you spill in though! I use a small mixing container and a 1/2" disposable brush to apply it generously and then give it plenty of time to seep in and dry. It works best in porous wood.

Fue exactamente lo que necesitaba buena calidad 👌

Works well, easy to use, easy clean-up. Recommended

Yep it worked

It does a good job of solidifying punky wood, and dries fast. It took half a can to deal with four picnic table legs, so it's not cheap.

Worked as expected ...
