Worked Amazingly!!
Had some water rotted wood caused by leaky tail light housings in my RV. Bondo RWR worked so much better than I could have imagined. The wooden area was soft, muchy and flaky. After a few coats it's now rock hard. Six months later and still solid. I will now use it in my soft RV subfloorimg.

    Amazing Product..!!!!
    I had some rotted wood inside the taillight area of my recreational vehicle. After scraping out a lot of the really Damaged wood, and letting it dry, I applied the product per directions. I applied a few more coats than necessary over a period of two hours period when I checked on it the next day, the wood was again solid.

    Had a very tricky repair job where a thick vine rotted away the cedar siding. This did the trick along with the bondo wood filler. I'm a 61-year -old female and am happy with the results.

    I have a post at the corner of the overhang over my front porch that had an area that was literally crumbling away. Replacing the entire post was economically impossible at the time so I decided to try and fix it. I started with this rotted wood restored. It suggested 4 to 6 coats allowing only two minutes of driving time between each coat. This definitely helps speed up the process. I went with six coats because the wood was pretty soft. After the application, I could tell it had done the job. The wood was no longer soft but was nice and firm. I would definitely recommend this product if you’re needing to make a repair to any wood that has started to rot. However, you are going to want to finish it up by using the Bondo wood filler. Especially on an exterior application.

      It Works
      As a remodeler I often get asked to repair window rot. in the past I've cutout the old and replaced but a recent job had upwards of 30 windows to repair so I figured I would give this product a try. I read the reviews and followed the directions and it worked remarkably. as for the people that said they destroyed the can opening it or it was a one time use product, well, they're either lacking in ability or don't have the right tools for the job. You just have to be careful.

        Easy application and it did an amazing job at strengthening a walnut branch I am turning into a hiking stick. I was able to lift myself up off the floor!

        Does its job solidifying rotten wood. Just make sure it’s dry before application.

        Amazing! My pergola had some dryrot in a non structural area. This product hardened the area allowing me to fill, sand and paint.

        This worked really well on rotting, softened exterior door trim. Firmed it up really nicely.

        This product really restores wood that has become slightly porous due to weather. I applied 6 coats 2 minutes apart and the wood looks like new.

        The product filled in places on the outside of our windows where the windows meet the frame of the house and the window ledge. The problem happened because of how a company installed new windows. This product helped restore the windows and seal places where air was entering the house. The only problem for me was the smell. It did dry and smell was gone next day. Unfortunately I am very sensitive to smells but I got through it and this saved us thousands of dollars that we did not have to spend for new windows. A great product that made the job possible.

        This worked MUCH better than I expected. Setup was quick so filling a vertical cavity was possible. But it wasn't too quick that I didn't have enough time to properly fill the hole.

        Dries fast. Firms up wood
        Dries fast and firms up rotten wood. I put on a few layers. Many folks had problems getting the lid open like me, I had a big clamp and used that to twist off the lid when it was brand new. Then because of the messages on this web site I put vasaline (white petroleum jelly) on the threads. I think cooking oil, or wd 40 would also work. That way the lid would not glue shut.
