In most instances the repair can be carried out
in situ. Traditionally large Victorian box sash windows often have to
be removed for a repair which is carried out in a workshop using traditional
carpentry techniques. It will be seen from the following that the correct
use of modern epoxies may obviate the necessity for their expensive
removal.
First evaluate the damage and decide upon the method
of repair, which may be one or a combination of the following principal
types:-
1. Removal of the component or section and replacement
with timber using our Thixotropic
Epoxy Laminating Resin to make a shrink proof, weather proof repair
joint.
2. Partial removal of the component; replacement
with a timber using a our gap filling Thixotropic
Epoxy Adhesive at the interface between the new timber and the irregular
shape of the existing section.
3. Filling and reshaping of a decay removal area
with our woodworking tool workable and our Mouldable
Epoxy Putty - you can rasp, sand, drill and colour this Epoxy
Putty to resemble wood.
