- Wear protective gloves and eye protection. The hardener is highly flammable, so keep it away from flames, sparks and heaters, and open doors and windows for ventilation.
- Find the full extent of the rot by pushing a screwdriver or bradawl into the wood. Rotten wood will feel soft and spongy.
- Cut or scrape away any loose, crumbling wood until you reach a fairly sound base.
- Strip any paint or varnish from the repair area around it, so the hardener can soak in.
- Make sure the wood is dry. Hardener won’t penetrate wet timber properly.
- For deeper repairs, drill small holes into the soft wood so the hardener can reach further in.
- Give the tin a thorough shake.
- Pour some of the hardener out into the plastic lid.
- Brush it on generously. Keep applying until the rotten wood stops absorbing it, and fill any drilled holes.
- Leave it to dry for two hours.
- Scrub with a wire brush to get rid of any excess hardener.
- Fill holes and cracks with Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler.
- Once the filler has set, sand smooth and paint or stain as normal.
- Clean your tools with white spirit straight away.
- Don’t pour leftover hardener down drains or into watercourses.
