Any thoughts on pros/cons of System3 Sculpwood vs. Abatron WoodEpox
for the following uses:
1. Filling holes/gouges and other defects in wood
2. Replacing rotten wood in exterior windows and trim
They both seem rather expensive, so I figured that I might as well get
input from others who have tried both.
Don't have a clue about the above, but it can't be much more than
epoxy thickened with micro-balloons.
SFWIW, I make my own.
If you dig out rotted wood and patch it back with epoxy, then fair it
out when cured, you have basically boat fairing compound hanging onto
a hunk of wood that is probably going to continue to rot anyway.
Depending on how large the repair is, it may be more effective to
replace the rotted piece completely.
You will need to paint it over on exterior applications to provide UV
protection.
Have fun.
