Wood Restoration

E-Wood

Non-Shrinking Epoxy Wood Putty for Log Homes

A missing piece of a log or window sill calls for a repair that holds its shape. E-Wood is a thick, two-part filler that rebuilds those sections. It bonds to rigid surfaces and provides the necessary size for missing sections without shrinking as it cures.

Our epoxy wood filler for outdoor repairs fits irregular spaces. Press and shape it to match the surrounding wood. After the patch cures, trim it with a saw or smooth it with a sander. Logs and dimensional wood members are then ready for paint or stain.

Shop Available Sizes

The amount of material needed depends on how much wood is missing. A damaged corner on one window sill is a smaller job than rebuilding sections across several logs. Our epoxy wood putty is available as a kit for limited repairs and in larger quantities for larger projects.

Product Information

E-Wood is a rebuilding compound. It includes two parts to repair deteriorated wood. Pair it with M-Balm to treat loose, porous fibers first, leaving a firm surface for the putty to bond to.

Features

  • Restores strength to deteriorated wood
  • White vinegar and water cleanup
  • Does not shrink
  • Paintable and stainable

Disposal: Dispose of unused product and empty containers in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. To protect the environment, do not pour unused epoxy wood filler for outdoor repairs into drains or waterways.

E-Wood epoxy wood putty has a one-year shelf life. Keep Part A and Part B separate between projects. The putty starts curing once combined, so the leftover mix will not keep for another repair. Reseal each original container and store it upright, away from direct sunlight.

Clean and dry repair areas before you begin. Measure equal amounts of E-Wood Part A and Part B. Then, knead them together until the color is uniform. We recommend you use gloves when handling the epoxy. 

At 70°F, the mixed putty has a working time of about 60 minutes, so prepare an amount you can apply within that window.

Epoxy wood putty cures into a rigid patch. During routine log inspections, look along its edges for separation from the surrounding wood. Keep the paint or stain over the repair in good condition, just as you would on nearby wood.  If a gap appears, check what has changed in the before adding more putty.

What should I do if my log home is really dark or discolored?

Dark or discolored log homes can mean a couple of things. One is it’s dirty and a thorough cleaning will bring back the original look. Another is the wrong finish was applied and it’s covered in mold, mildew, and other stains. Restoration steps begin here.

Our contractor used the Strip-It product on the log home that we recently purchased. He used an airless sprayer and then pressure washed the home. It did a great job of removing the dark paint on it. Soon, we will be applying your Ultra-2 stain and Advance topcoat. We couldn’t be more pleased with how our project is going so far, so thank you Perma-Chink!

We received your samples of S-100 and Strip-It to try on our logs. Strip-It worked the best as our finish remover. We were able to leave it on overnight and we used a pressure washer to remove the old finish the next day. Now we are continuing the restoration process and are planning on using more products from Perma-Chink Systems.

–Roosevelt

I found this product to be fairly easy to work with. Our home had a couple of places where animals had chewed on the logs in the past, so we wanted to fill in those areas. We cleaned those areas up, then applied a little M-Balm, and then put the E-Wood right on top of it. We had to sand it down a little, but it does look pretty good so far. We are going to stain over it soon.

–Cecily

As a log home restoration company, E-Wood is used in many applications for restoration. We use it on broken or cracked wood, and fill in where knots have fallen out of pine boards. It is easy to use: Mix equal parts with your hands (use gloves), shape and apply to affected area. Let dry, sand and stain. It does not shrink or pull away. It is a good product: Thank you, Perma-Chink!
