Product Information

Surface Preparation

• Areas of wood that are punky or soft from rot or dry rot should first be treated with TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy, as directed.
• The surface must be clean, dry, and free of grease or oil before applying TotalBoat FixWood.
• In the area to be treated, sand the wood with 60-120 grit sandpaper.
• Remove all sanding residue before applying TotalBoat FixWood.

Mixing and Handling

• Always wear disposable nitrile or latex gloves when mixing and using TotalBoat FixWood.
• Mix 1 part FixWood PART A – RESIN with 1 part PART B – HARDENER by volume.
• Do not add extra resin or hardener.
• Mix by hand until the putty achieves a consistent color, without any resin-rich or hardener-rich areas.
• Mix only as much material as can be used in 20 minutes.

Application

• Apply and mold by hand or with tools, as desired.
• When filling holes or gouges, work the TotalBoat FixWood into the cavity as much as possible to displace any air.

• In warmer conditions, the product will become sandable sooner.
