DAP Launches Plastic Wood™ Wood Rot Repair Kit for Easy and Effective Restoration

Two-Part System Combines a High Quality Wood Hardener and Epoxy Filler to Deliver Durable, Seamless Wood Rot Repairs

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DAP, a leader in the home improvement and construction products industry, is introducing the Plastic Wood™ Wood Rot Repair Kit, an outstanding solution for addressing one of the biggest consumer frustrations, wood rot damage, with ease and precision. This comprehensive kit combines two advanced products—a fast-drying wood hardener that strengthens soft, damaged wood and a heavy-duty epoxy filler with a self-mixing nozzle that resists shrinking and cracking—delivering durable and seamless wood restoration for a variety of applications.

“At DAP, we’re committed to providing innovative solutions that make home repairs easier and more effective. The Wood Rot Repair Kit offers a comprehensive, user-friendly approach to restoring damaged wood, ensuring long-lasting, professional-quality results,” said Raquel Beckett, Product Marketing Director at DAP.

With the new Wood Rot Repair Kit, repairing wood damage is quick and simple in just five steps: remove the rotted wood, apply the wood hardener, fill with epoxy, then sand and paint for a flawless finish. The repair kit includes:

• Plastic Wood™ Wood Hardener – This high quality, latex-based solution seals and reinforces soft wood fibers, offering excellent adhesion to damp wood and preparing it for easy repair with wood filler or putty. Ideal for windows, trim, frames and doors, it’s simple to apply with a brush. Cleanup is hassle-free with just water, and it dries clear in only 30 minutes. Once dry, it can be sanded and painted, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Plastic Wood™ Epoxy Filler – Designed for wood repair, this versatile, two-part epoxy is simple to use and sag-resistant, making it ideal for repairs on vertical, horizontal and overhead surfaces. This versatile epoxy is the first and only self-mixing wood filler epoxy on the market. It offers exceptional resistance to shrinking and cracking, preparing the foundation for nails and screws. With a generous 20-minute working time, it provides ample opportunity for precise shaping and molding. Once fully cured, the epoxy can be easily sanded, cut, planed, drilled, nailed, screwed and painted, making it ideal for a wide range of projects both indoor and out.

“The combination of our high quality wood hardener and heavy-duty epoxy filler makes this kit a game-changer, and a money saver for homeowners who aren’t looking to fully replace rotted wood. Professionals and homeowners alike can now tackle wood damage with confidence, knowing they’re using a kit designed to strengthen and restore wood ,” added Beckett.
