Wood hardener - what is is?
Richard Tobin expressed precisely :
Thanks, and how does it harden wood? My guess - Its a plastic, heavily diluted by a solvent. The solvent evaporates when exposed to air, leaving the styrene behind in the pores of the wood, making the rotted wood firm again. |

Well there are several types, but essentially they are designed to penetrate
the soggy places and holes and glue the left overs together without expansion. Bit of a bodge. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Thanks, and how does it harden wood? It basically polymerises and forms and embedded plastic.

A bodge that can work quite well if the the hole is then filled with car body filler. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

It has a low surface tension and wets out dry porous wood before polymerising into hard polystyrene plastic when exposed to the air. It works reasonably well provided that the remaining wood is more or less approximately sound. It cannot work miracles on powdery dust though. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
