PC Products PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 8 oz, Milky White 84441

We use this to harden and petrify old wood and found drift wood out of the river. No odor to speak of, goes on easy with brush and gives a nice tone to the wood. The wood goes a little darker and richer. Quick to dry. Only thing to be careful with is that it is very thin and if not careful you lose a lot off the brush trying to get it on wood. The advantage of being thin is that it seeps into cracks and crevices well. Have used it on old deck wood as well. Would recommend.

This works! I like the container it's in. Easy to use.

Works better than expected, easy to apply and doesn't make a mess. I had to repair a very large raised wood deck that had significant dry rot and insect damage. I cleaned out all of the damaged wood then tried this product to one of the beams. At first I couldn't see any effect, then when the first coat was cured, I applied a second, heavier coat and saw the results. The wood had become very hard and dense where the rot had been and prevented additional rot by weather proofing the wood. Particularly effective on the very porous board ends that have a tendency to rot as they absorb water. The board ends now are water tight. I also tried the traditional rot solution that required a two part epoxy to be mixed. This was fine for heavily rotted areas that needed to be filled, but was a lot of work and too expensive for large areas. Application Tip: I found that a plastic "glue" needle plunger worked great to inject the wood hardener into holes in the wood, left by pests or ones I drilled to get deep into the wood. Very inexpensive, and effective way to prolong the life of important wood that will not be visible (substructure, or surface coated).

Use this on some minor wood rod at my front door window. Worked just as described. Created a nice solid wood surface for priming and new paint. I would recommend this.

great stuff. i pulled a toilet that had a bad wax seal so water was leaking onto the subfloor under toilet. who ever built the house left a large cutout and the toilet flange. now i had to dry out all the exposed wood. scraped the soft water logged wood away. once it was dry i used this petrifier. it was sucked right inthe wood and 24 hours later the wood was hard as concrete. this allowed me to fill in around the new flange i put in with gorilla all porpose wood filler. once the area dried and level , the flange was not free floating anymore. i was able to screw the flange thru the woodfiller to the petrified wood unde the putty. this petrified product worked great and i didn't have to cut out the old floor and replace with new plywood and lay a new finished floor. highly recommended product

Very surprised this actually works.

Great product. I used it for hardening some dead wood to create few decorative craft projects. Worked so well that it was tougher than original fresh wood!! I mean, I had to saw off some to fine tune the craft item and I realized how hard it was. Before hardening the old log was so dead I had to be so careful not to break it while gentle cleaning.

This is a good product.It worked well for me

I had a 100 year old screen door that one corner had rotten out. I used the wood petrified and then PC Woody filler. I sanded and painted and the carpenter that was replacing a different door….said he never would have known that the door had been repaired. It was back to perfect. How long it will last??? But for now, I am very pleased with the results.

一度固まればそれなりの強度は出ますが 思ったより浸透力が低いように思われます 木自体の材質によるかも知れません 今回の失敗は 初めからエポキシ樹脂にするべきでした

i love this stuff. i do quiling and it makes all my creations go from paper to a stiff almost like wood,

Product is good but unfortunately the time to deliver is way too long!

I sanded as much as possible with some opaque outdoor wood stain remaining on the window sills to be treated. Then I brushed on the product which seems to soak ok into the wood. But looking at the treated sills a year later, I notice that the product has lifted parts of the remaining stain, meaning that I have to redo the job. I think I will stick with 2 part epoxy. Too bad, I liked the simplicity of this product.
