Hardening Wood - also called consolidating and priming

Unlike Retail wood hardeners we do not use acrylic, polyester or solvent based resin hardeners because they are not epoxy-based, and although they may make the wood hard they do not restore substantial strength. They can also be chemically unstable due to long-term exposure to moisture in the wood, the cause of decay and every present in external joinery. Epoxies are not affected by this dampness, do not shrink and will not deteriorate inside the wood with age.
