When I seen you putting all that filler on I was speechless but you know what looked perfect at the end.
@stephenrobbins29314 жыл бұрын
A good effort, and well done for getting stuck in and doing it yourself. It is often the case that when you start digging the rot is worse than it first looks. For a good long lasting repair it is important to get all of the damaged wood out. Then treat the rest of the exposed area with wet rot wood hardener which will strengthen any remaining damaged fibres. Pick up a few different pieces of hardwood from a DIY store and get a piece that is slightly oversized and cut it to length so it is a snug fit. Plane it so it is close to the correct shape, then glue it in and fix with some good length stainless steel screws, having countersunk the holes first. You will find the extra cost of the hardwood will be more than saved by the reduced amount of wood filler needed, you should only need it to fill the small gaps around it and the screw holes. You can now sand the wood until it is flush with the surrounding area, then finish with primer and finish of choice. The repair should last the lifetime of the rest of the threshold.

I like the pre-hung exterior doors available now at the big box hardware stores. Gaskets and seals all around the door eliminating a lot of draft from the wind.and come with R value like insulation. Many accents available to age the door look, stained glass etc. I like the Repair. Its cheap and works. You could replace the door too if you change your mind.

@myoldreteacher5 жыл бұрын
Ah, I see... yes, that would have been a good solution. One of the reasons I approached it this way was to address a water issue I had at the time. I needed a non-natural product in there to stop rotting. Fighting a deteriorating step has been a long battle, but I got there. I have now fixed the issues causing the step to fail. In theory I could rip out this repair and replace it with wood, but this is holding up well so I’ll leave it for now.

Band-aid the wood rot is still eating it way up the door jam the threshold needs to be cut out and replaced with pressure treated lumber the Bondo will help the rotting continue because of the moisture it holds that is why the jam is starting to rot away up the door frame

Fix the new piece of wood with as resin such as Repaircare. No screws required and will last for evermore as it flexes with the wood. Or replace the whole step just as easy and can also be fixed with resin so no screws required again.

Water is soaked up by cured Bondo. Bondo (polyester) when cured will soak up water and fail. Ask any car body repair guy. Bondo and wood is a really bad idea. Wood no matter how dry has water content and the Bondo will soak up that water and fall apart. Bondo is cheep but is a poor idea to use around the house with wood any wood. Bondo with metal is ok but even then you need to prime and paint bondo repairs or Bondo will fall off metal.

It's been two years can you post update on how well it held up? Or a link to the update
@myoldreteacher4 жыл бұрын
Actually, it's held up well. It's just started to fail just a little on the top around the edges where the Bondo meets the wood, but it appears this is because the new screen door is such a tight seal around the bottom that it does not allow rain to seep outside quickly. So water sits there a little longer and over time has exposed the join, but nothing too bad. Just a little cosmetic tidying up! However, the repair is sold and lasting well. Eventually the entire step will need to be replaced, but my MO is why do that if you can get a few more years out of the current set up. Besides, even if it's not the correct way to do it it caused the house no structural harm and was fun to do. Thanks for your comment.

You’re right, there was more rot underneath and because of that I needed to do another repair on it this year, but as you point out, the better solution is to replace it all. I’ll get there, probably next year, but this year I had some more urgent things to attend to. Thanks for your comment.
