Minwax High Performance Wood Hardener

Minwax® High Performance Wood Hardener is a quick-drying liquid formulated to strengthen and reinforce decayed or rotting wood. Minwax® High Performance Wood is made up of solvents that carry resin deep into the pores of the wood where they evaporate and leave behind hardened resin resulting in hardened wood.

• The hardener penetrates deep into the wood and its special resin binds and reinforces the decayed wood fibers
• High Performance Wood Hardener seals from further moisture penetration and hardens to a rock hard solid base for lifting
• Designed to strengthen wood fibers of interior or exterior rotted wood prior to the application of Minwax® High Performance Wood Filler

1. Completely remove decayed and very soft, crumbly wood until you reach reasonably sound wood. Wood should be dry, free from dirt, grease, oil and loose paint particles.
2. Shake can well; apply Minwax® High Performance Wood Hardener with a disposable bristle brush to the softened wood to completely saturate the area.
3. For strength, apply several coats in quick succession until a shiny surface appearance is obtained.
4. Allow to harden for 2-4 hours before filling void with Minwax® High Performance Wood Filler.
5. Sand, paint, or stain if desired.

Clean up: disposable bristle brush is recommended. If not available, clean the brush with acetone, following manufacture’s safety instructions
