The Tetrion Wood Hardener is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals dealing with wet rot in wood, offering a way to strengthen decayed areas and prevent further damage. Its key benefit is transforming soft, crumbly wood into a solid base for filling and creating a water-repellent surface. A potential caveat is its rapid evaporation, requiring careful application.

The product needs at least 6 hours to penetrate and harden the wood. Ensure this time is met before applying any filler.
Tetrion Wood Hardener is specifically designed for wood suffering from wet rot that has become soft and degraded. It's intended to strengthen this weakened wood.
Brushes must be cleaned with cellulose thinners immediately after use to prevent the hardener from drying on them.
Once the hardener has cured and you have applied a compatible filler, you can typically paint or varnish the area as you would with normal wood, following the filler manufacturer's instructions.
Yes, Tetrion Wood Hardener is suitable for both internal and external use and helps to form a water-repellent surface.
The amount of filler will depend on the size of the repair. Tetrion Wood Hardener creates a base for filling, so use a good quality filler like Tetrion All Purpose Woodfiller, Tetrion Powerfil 2K Filler, or Tetrion Professional Woodfil to complete the repair.
Not removing loose and very soft wood may lead to incomplete hardening and a less stable base for filling, potentially compromising the repair's durability.
Ensure the wood was completely dry before application and that the hardener fully saturated the affected area. Multiple applications may be necessary for deeply affected wood.
This is a characteristic of the product. Apply in smaller batches and ensure the main container is tightly sealed when not in use.
Ensure the hardener has fully cured for at least 6 hours and the surface is clean and free of dust before applying filler. Check that a compatible filler is being used.
Brushes must be cleaned immediately with cellulose thinners after application. If left uncleaned, the hardener will set.
Preparation is Key: Before application, remove all loose and very soft wood from the affected area. Ensure the wood is thoroughly dry and free from dirt, grease, and oil.
Application: Shake the can well. Pour a small amount into a metal or ceramic dish, as the product evaporates quickly. Apply with a paintbrush, ensuring the affected area and immediate surroundings are completely saturated. Work in small batches and keep the main container tightly closed between applications.
Drying Time: Allow the treated area to penetrate and harden for a minimum of 6 hours.
Compatibility: This hardener is designed to create a base for wood fillers. Use with compatible fillers such as Tetrion All Purpose Woodfiller, Tetrion Powerfil 2K Filler, or Tetrion Professional Woodfil for optimal results.
Brush Care: Clean brushes immediately after use with cellulose thinners. Leftover product in the can should be stored away from heat and direct sunlight.
