Stone Coat Woodshop Epoxy Penetrate, 1.5 Quart Kit - Ultra-Low Viscosity Penetrating Epoxy for Stabilizing Soft or Rotted Wood, Seal Coat for River

Stone Coat Woodshop Epoxy Penetrate, 1.5 Quart Kit - Ultra-Low Viscosity Penetrating Epoxy for Stabilizing Soft or Rotted Wood, Seal Coat for River

Deep Penetration & Stabilization: Ultra-low viscosity formula saturates soft, rotted, or porous wood fibers, creating a stronger, more durable base for casting, laminating, or epoxy top-coating projects. Perfect for River Tables & Slabs: Ideal for pre-sealing live edge wood slabs. Reduces bubble release and ensures smoother pours, enhancing adhesion between epoxy layers and natural wood. Stronger Adhesion & Seal Coat: Applied before laminating or casting, this epoxy penetrate creates a superior bond, locks fibers in place, and prevents delamination for a long-lasting, professional finish. Flexible Application Options: Can be thinned with up to 50% solvent such as acetone or denatured alcohol to achieve deeper penetration for large or porous wood projects like furniture and restoration. Reliable Work & Cure Times: Features a 2:1 mix ratio by volume, 25–30 minute pot life, and reaches gel stage in 6–8 hours. Apply subsequent coats while tacky or sand cured surfaces for mechanical bonding. Stone Coat Woodshop Epoxy Penetrate is a professional-grade, solvent-free, ultra-low viscosity epoxy designed to stabilize and strengthen soft, damaged, or porous wood fibers. Whether you’re preparing a live edge slab for a river table, restoring furniture, or sealing raw wood before casting, this penetrating epoxy delivers the deep saturation and strong adhesion needed for flawless results. By soaking into the fibers of soft or rotted wood, it reinforces the structure and provides a stable foundation that prevents further breakdown. This penetrating epoxy is perfect for woodworkers, DIY crafters, and professionals alike who want to ensure their projects stand the test of time. When applied before laminating, top-coating, or casting, Woodshop Epoxy Penetrate enhances adhesion and reduces the release of bubbles, which often compromise clarity and strength in epoxy pours. The result is a smoother, more consistent finish that not only looks professional but also provides long-term durability. One of the key advantages of Woodshop Epoxy Penetrate is its versatility. It can be thinned with up to 50% solvent such as acetone or denatured alcohol to achieve deeper saturation for particularly porous woods. This makes it an excellent solution for reclaimed wood, and highly absorbent surfaces. By penetrating deeply, it locks fibers in place, strengthens the substrate, and minimizes the risk of delamination when epoxy coatings are applied. Designed with user convenience in mind, this epoxy system features a 2:1 mix ratio by volume, providing predictable results with minimal guesswork. It offers a 25–30 minute work time at 60–75°F, giving you ample time to apply it evenly, while the gel stage occurs in 6–8 hours. For best results, subsequent epoxy coats should be applied while the surface is still tacky to achieve maximum chemical bonding. If the surface has fully cured, a light sanding ensures proper mechanical adhesion. With a full cure time of 2–4 days, you’ll have a stabilized, reinforced wood surface ready for your next stage of crafting. From live edge tables to furniture and restoration projects, Stone Coat Woodshop Epoxy Penetrate is the ultimate solution for strengthening and sealing wood fibers before epoxy applications.
