Default Re: Repair of Soft Wood

I 'repaired' the wood in my Townsedan where the drip rails attach with Git Rot. Then I used a marine epoxy to fill in the larger holes and give the nails something to bite. I also know that this is a temp fix because these cars twist a lot and vibrate.


Brent is right in that fact that if the interior portion is out of the car in that spot it is best to just replace the wood. If the soft part of the wood is on the top then the epoxies today should work at keeping things down. Sealed-that is another question. My two cents worth.
