+JONTE141 We are glad that at least on of your ears loved the video! Maybe we will get lucky and with one of our other videos both ears will love them.
Sir, there is a method you can use to fix the crack and show no sign of crack by color. Use resin to fill the crack and sand the crack with sandpaper and the particle of the wood will fill into the resin and unify the color. Thi is work on small cracks and is used to fix small crack on burl woods. I know some woodworkers use planer and epoxy.
My husband and I are buying a house that is 100 years old this year. My office has original hard wood flooring that has been painted. I plan to remove the paint at some point. I cracked the seem of one of the wood boards with a office chair wheel. If I send a picture via e-mail can you help me and tell me if your product will work for me? I have a mat to put down as protection after I fix the crack. Enjoyed your video and thanks for your help!
Hello! We would love to take a look at your picture and see if WoodFil EPOXY would be a good solution. You can email the photo to info@americantechnologyinc.com and we can get back to you with an answer within the day. Thank you so much for your interest in our products and please let us know if you have any further questions.
I just spent $5,000 for a new redwood fence and 4 days later I am noticing a few very fine cracks - should I be worried I don't know. My painter recommended putty to fill the screw holes so maybe I will try the putty on the crack before I stain. He recommended Crawford's vinyl sparkling paste. I think this is white so I am going to return it. And buy a tube he is recommending. They don't have Redwood so I thought Pine might be the next best color. I did email them for recommendations.
Hey Jaden! Thanks so much for the inquiry. Unfortunately WoodFil EPOXY won't likely stop a split from continuing down a piece of wood. There are many great videos on youtube from other channels that have great how to's on that subject. Sorry that we are not more help and thanks again!
Thanks for the question Eric! WoodFil EPOXY will not shrink however it does not stop the wood from shrinking if that's what you're asking. Have a great day!
Hello and good question. The epoxy has some adhesive qualities to it however we are unsure of it's long term holding power on such an application. The cracks that were filled in this piece of wood have not split any further and we made this video over 5 years ago. I don't know if I would rely on it for a structural piece. Let me know if you have any further questions!
Does woodfil epoxy strengthen the crack? I have a chair that the support leg is slightly cracked. I wonder if this just fill the gaps or does it strengthen it to prevent from further cracks. Thanks!
Hello Ragamala and thank you so much for your questions. Generally WoodFil epoxy is best for filling cracks and it's main purpose is not as an adhesive. In the application you are suggesting it would likely add some additional stability from further cracking however may not be the best long term solution. Please let us know if you have any other questions and have a great day!
Hello Jaden! Sorry for the late reply, we must have somehow overlooked your comment. WoodFil EPOXY will not keep the wood from continuing to split. Although WoodFil EPOXY does have some adhesive qualities it won't stop a split from continuing. Thanks so much for your inquiry and again our apologies for the late response!
Hi Brandy, without further details I can't give a definitive answer but I would think it might be better to apply the WoodFil after bleaching it. The bleach however should not damage the WoodFil EPOXY. Thanks!
Hi Scott, It would be able to fill in any seam and bond it together however I would be concerned that over time it may split at the same crack again due to the flexing.
Hello i want to use this on my butch block counter top. Behind my sink where gets the most water splashed on it started cracking. Is this product water proof?
Hello Lorenzo! WoodFil EPOXY is completely waterproof and will end up being more durable than the wood. The tubes are listed as the color of the wood not the stain type. Can you add color to the epoxy by mixing in pigments or by staining over it. However the epoxy will not absorb stain in the same way as the wood since it is not porous. Please let us know if you have any more questions!
Good Morning Brent, Sorry for the late reply. You can add stain directly to all our WoodFil EPOXY products to allow for a stain to the desired color that you would like. If you have any further questions feel free to ask! Thanks!
Hello there, are you able to sell to the UK? I have a small 1mm gap inside 800mm of two 2m oak planks. They have been finger jointed, as well as domino jointed, and can't move anywhere. This looks like a good solution. Is it flexible and crack resistant also? Cheers
Hello Martin and sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately we do not currently sell to the UK. We wish you the best of luck with finding a solution!
Hi J R. Thank you so much for the question. Once WoodFil EPOXY cures it is relatively inert however we would not recommend using it on something like a cutting board. Thank you and have a great day!
Hello! Yes this product is still available and it can be purchased from www.americantechnologyinc.com. And when you say temperature restrictions do you mean heat or cold? Thanks for the great questions!
@@antbotwoodworking4668 the material will work in lower temperatures. However once you get below freezing you cannot mix the materials together as they are too hard. However out of curiosity I just took a tube of material, froze it, allowed it to warm up in my hand to mix it, then threw it back in the freezer mixed and the material fully cured. Ideally the epoxy should be allowed to cure in warmer temperatures but as long as you aren't working in extremes in should work. Hopefully that answers your questions, however if you have any more please feel free to ask.
Hi James! Thanks so much for the question. A short answer to your question is yes you can as WoodFil does not shrink or expand so it can be layered on top of itself. My longer answer would be that depending on how the deep and wide the crack is it may be more or less challenging. If there is a bottom to the crack then it's easy to pack the material on top of itself. If the bottom of the crack is open you'd have to create a way to stop the material from coming out the other side. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask or contact our customer service representative at (800) 837-4971.
Hi Carson, Good question. They are of similar compositions and designs. Both are two part hand mixable epoxies. Ours are specifically formulated for wood (which home depots may be as well) and WoodFil EPOXY comes in 5 wood grain colors. Have a great day!
Hello Kim! Thanks so much for the inquiry, if I understand your question correctly you would be joining a piece of wood together that completely split. WoodFil EPOXY can be used as an adhesive to join wood back together. However I would say keep it mind that it's not a liquid and when using it to put two pieces back together it can be challenging to clamp as the EPOXY has to be pushed out the sides. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask! Have a great day.
Hello Melissa and sorry for the late reply! Without knowing what kind of cracks in stairs you speak of I cannot give a definitive answer however I do believe it would work. As long as the cracks in the stairs are deep enough (maybe 1/8 inch or deeper) the product should have no problem adhering to the wood. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask on here or you can contact our customer service at 1 (800) 837-4971. Thank you so much and have a great day!
Hello Catrina! Thanks so much for the question. Yes WoodFil EPOXY does work on any wood. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask! Have a great day.
Good Morning Catrina! Thanks for your follow up question. I attempted to open the photo and I seem to be having a few issues with it. Your best bet would be to send the photo to info@americantechnologyinc.com. I'll notify our customer service rep that you are sending a picture and we can review it and get back to you today.

Comparing 0:00 with 3:15 shows the different in the whole wood's color. At 2:55 they skipped the process of making the color uniform, so I doubt it was easy
Thanks for your comment. In the video as mentioned the different in the woods color is due to the fact that the wood was finished. The tube of WoodFil EPOXY that was used is our standard walnut color which was formulated to match well with most dark walnuts. Also the epoxy can be finished which helps with the color match. It would have been a good idea for us to leave a shot of the unfinished sanded epoxy which would have shown how easy the process actually is. We will keep that in mind for further videos. Have a great day and thanks again for your comment.
I think a couple of your replies answer my question: Do you match the epoxy to the unfinished or finished wood? Looks like you need to match it to the finished wood. So, if you know what that will look like, you can pick that color directly from the tubes. Otherwise, you need to finish (at least) a small bit of wood and match it to that. Right?
Chance Wride thanks for the feedback and we are sorry it didn’t work for you. Could you provide us some insight into the application you used it on so we can better understand what happened. Thanks!
A very helpful vid. ThanQ for sharing and for reminding me of the word ''perpendicular'' which I've literally not heard since childhood.
Thanks for the reply! Glad the video was useful!
1 of my ears loved this vid

Sawdust from the wood mixed with shellac...perfect match and cheap as chips
Thank you for the video, I found it VERY helpful.
Thanks!
Man, got worried for a minute. Thought I went deaf on my left side
What!!!! Can you say it louder please
Hey Jaden! Thanks so much for the inquiry. Unfortunately WoodFil EPOXY won't likely stop a split from continuing down a piece of wood. There are many great videos on youtube from other channels that have great how to's on that subject. Sorry that we are not more help and thanks again!
Does it prevent additional shrinkage?
Thanks for the question Eric! WoodFil EPOXY will not shrink however it does not stop the wood from shrinking if that's what you're asking. Have a great day!
If cracks start on the end can you clamp the crack together or will the epoxy not hold it together?

I'm planning to bleach my dining room table. Do I fix the splintered wood with the woodfil EPOXY prior to bleaching it, or after?
Hi Brandy, without further details I can't give a definitive answer but I would think it might be better to apply the WoodFil after bleaching it. The bleach however should not damage the WoodFil EPOXY. Thanks!
Would thiis work on a hardwood stair tread which has cracked along the wood grain and flexes when walked on?
Hi Scott, It would be able to fill in any seam and bond it together however I would be concerned that over time it may split at the same crack again due to the flexing.
Hello i want to use this on my butch block counter top. Behind my sink where gets the most water splashed on it started cracking. Is this product water proof?
Also picking the color is that by wood type or my current stain i have on already. Any help would be greatly appreciated thx

what is the wood I am working with (coa) has more red hues; redder than cherry? is there a way to add some additional color?

Hi J R. Thank you so much for the question. Once WoodFil EPOXY cures it is relatively inert however we would not recommend using it on something like a cutting board. Thank you and have a great day!
Wait... slowdown turbo! What did you do before opening the cap?
Hi James! Do you mean what did we do to the wood for preparation?
Is it good for outside ? I have major cracks in 4by4 fence posts and am looking for something to repair them.
Hello Terry. WoodFill EPOXY can absolutely be used outside. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Is this recommended on posts?
Hi Amit and thanks for the question! You can use WoodFil EPOXY on posts without a problem. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Is this product still available? If so, are there temperature restrictions like most other epoxies?
Hello! Yes this product is still available and it can be purchased from www.americantechnologyinc.com. And when you say temperature restrictions do you mean heat or cold? Thanks for the great questions!
Kampel yes, I’m wondering if I can still work with this material in an unheated garage or if it needs to be a certain temperature to fully cure.
@@antbotwoodworking4668 the material will work in lower temperatures. However once you get below freezing you cannot mix the materials together as they are too hard.

how is this different than the wood epoxy sticks from Home Depot?
Hi Carson, Good question. They are of similar compositions and designs. Both are two part hand mixable epoxies. Ours are specifically formulated for wood (which home depots may be as well) and WoodFil EPOXY comes in 5 wood grain colors. Have a great day!
If the piece of wood were already split it two separate pieces could this work to join them back together?

Perhaps it's better to use epoxy glue or wood glue instead if it's completely split.
Wow
Thanks for the good information? 👍👍
Thanks!
Does it have a strong smell?
Hello R.Fowler. It does have a fairly strong smell. Thanks for your inquiry!
my right ear liked this
Could you use this on cracked stairs?
Hello Melissa and sorry for the late reply! Without knowing what kind of cracks in stairs you speak of I cannot give a definitive answer however I do believe it would work.

Thanks - the stair treads are split all the way through.
I have everything apart from the paper towels, I'm screwed..
+Cliff Carlo Good luck with your repair! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
I just used my scrotum. Worked like a charm.
so does the wood epoxy work on any Wood
Hello Catrina! Thanks so much for the question. Yes WoodFil EPOXY does work on any wood. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask! Have a great day.
If I take a picture of the wood table and post it on here can you tell me if it can be fixed by the wood epoxy

Here's a better idea .....shellac with saw dust from the wood you are working on mixed in to a paste, perfect match....SAVE YOUR MONEY 😁
That's a great suggestion as well!
Stodoys is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.

What is this audio lol
This stuff stinks. Sorry. Didn't work.
