I was recently restoring some older doors and windows and needed a good epoxy solution to address some pretty bad wood degradation. My trusty local paint supply store recommended a product called Flex-Tec. It comes in a beefy, dual tube caulking gun setup that the Terminator might carry if he were into wood restoration. Since that was a lot more product than I needed, I opted for the less manly mini-tube that fits into a normal caulking gun. The product is easy to mix and creates a very solid bond. It’s thick enough you can apply it upside down and it won’t run, and it’s easy to tool to pretty much any profile. After sanding and painting, you are left with what looks like sound and healthy wood. Great stuff! Say “Hasta La Vista” to decayed wood with Flex-Tec. Available from select dealers, or direct from Advanced Repair Technology starting at about $27 for the Mini version.
