What Is Epoxy Wood Filler?
Epoxy wood filler is a blended product that replaces and strengthens wood fibers. It can be used to reinforce a window frame or fill a hole in a wooden board, floor or furniture. It’s usually a permanent repair that can leave wood stronger than it was when it was new, and it’s a much cheaper fix than replacing wood that’s been undermined by years of wear or neglect. One area where wood fillers shines is for in-place fixes, where you don’t want to dismantle an installation in order to fix a single board. It’s usually applied as malleable putty and left in place to dry. Then the project is sanded. Some wood fillers are better for structural repairs, while others are easier and more attractive for cosmetic fixes. No epoxy wood filler is all things to all projects. Read the labels carefully for the wood filler you have in mind. There are a number of specialized varieties out there.
