Success in wood-epoxy repairs is not strongly related to specific products.
(this comment is may illicit copius amounts of technical data from the epoxy
product manufactures which will prove to be highly educational)
We are often bambozled by the product/manufacturing/sales orientation of the
modern construction industry and basic consumerism into thinking that
success comes from using certian products. Manufacturers and marketers have
spent billions of dollars over the past several decades to train us to think
in this way.
If you really want long-lasting repairs it is important for you to
understand that the specific product you use makes very little difference
when compared to the repair design, methods, proceedures and techniques you
use.
With that said, it does make at least some difference which product you use,
but that difference depends largely on the conditions of the sash you are
repairing, and the conditions of the service life of the repair.
Please tell us more about your experience level with wood-epoxy repairs, the
type and condition of your sash, and where they are located so we can help
you select repair methods and materials that make sense.
