1. Cut out all the decay – you could use an extended all-metal chisel, or buy a 3D Cutter from Property Repair Systems. These 3D Cutters fit any electric drill fitted with a standard chuck and are available in a number of diameters. The 3D Cutter is a high speed tool which drills and cuts sideways.
2. Stabilise and Prime – prime the decayed areas inside the holes or slots with Epoxy Primer.
3. Base fill or wood bond – fill up large holes with either Mouldable Epoxy Mortaror by bonding in a piece of undersized wood with Thixotropic Epoxy Resin.
4. Fine finish – for small cracks or slots use Raycreteor for straight edges, mouldings and curves use non-slump Timberbuild Rapid.
5. Treat with Boron – after all the repair work has dried, drill 10mm diameter holes above and below each damaged joint (if still made of wood) and insert Boron Ultra Paste with a Boron Rod.



These two products work together, dissolve into the timber, kill rot and insects and prevent future attack. Cap off with dowel, wood filler or our plastic 10mm plug.

If you need help with Timber Repairs, Rot or Insect Attack, or with timber treatment products Property Repair Systems staff will be pleased to give you completely free, no obligation advice on 01626 336180.
