Question 1

What is the typical shelf life of this product?Can it be stored in a shop where it will freeze now & then and remain useful?

Accepted Answer

I've used this stuff for a lot of years. And I have had stuff on the shelf after opening it for many years and it's still good. Absolutely amazing!   I say if it's kept cool and dry it could easily last 4 to 5 years After opening.

Question 2

I’m repairing a bench that’s carved bears. we unfortunately left it outside in a building. the feet on one was rotted. can that be fixed with this pro

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.  Knowing to remove all spongy or rotted wood.  If not possible use the consolidator which essentially solidifies the remnants. Then apply the two part product. I have had good success with their products. Good luck - the bears need some new feet.

Question 3

at what temperature can it be used?

Accepted Answer

I would not want to use it below 40 degrees F.  It cures with heat it generates and works much faster when the surrounding temperature is high, say 70 and over. At higher temperatures, it will cure and harden in a day or so.  At lower temperatures, it can take several days to get hard enough to sand.  I have used a hair dryer on it when it is cold to speed cure.  Of course the working time decreases as the surrounding temperature increases, so I mix very small amounts, say two tables spoons at a time when it is hot outside.

Question 4

Can this be used without the abatron part structural epoxy wood hardener and consolidant resin prior if there's no water damage?

Accepted Answer

You can use the part A and part B without using the consolidant if the wood is not soft or rotted. You must use A and B together as there is a chemical reaction between the two that makes the product harden. Without the hardener the putty will remain soft.
