How to Fix Rotted Wood with Epoxy | This Old House

This Old House general contractor Tom Silva saves a rotting window with a two-part epoxy filler. (See below or a shopping list and tools.) SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Tom showed Kevin how to repair a rotten windowsill and trim using a two-part "architectural" epoxy. The epoxy is designed to be flexible so that it will not separate from the wood as the wood expands and contracts with changes in humidity. Tom first grinded out the soft, decayed wood using a router. Next, he applied a bonding agent to ensure a good bond between the epoxy and the wood. Tom then traced the profile of the window trim onto a plastic putty knife and cut the knife to match the profile. Tom then dispensed the two-part epoxy using a special caulking gun onto the piece of plastic and mixed the two parts together. He then applied the epoxy to the windowsill and trim using his putty knives. Back in the loft, Tom recommended another application of epoxy for "touch up" and a light sanding before applying paint.
