- The best thing I've seen lately for structural repair of wood is
- this stuff called Wood-Epox. I don't quite remember who makes it
- or how to order it (I've borrowed it from a friend on a couple of
- occasions), but it seems to be sold through the mail, and is advertised
- in FWW.
-
- They have a couple of different products, but the filler is use is a
- two-part mixture, with the stuff about the same weight (but not
- temperature) as ice-cream. It smells like almonds, and hardens
- without shrinking into a material that sands, drills, routes, etc,
- quite nicely. I've used it for the exact same application that you
- described (filling old door mortises), and it worked rather nicely.
- It's expensive, though.
-
- Have fun, and get in touch if you can't find it -- I'll look at the
- can and get the company name and address.
