A cracked stone bird bath + G/flexยฎ 655 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive + one creative wife = a gnome garden built to last through Michigan winters. G/flex bonds to almost anything (including stone) and flexes with seasonal temperature changes, so this repair won`t crack back open come spring. ๐ช

Decorative trim is beautiful right up until it starts rotting. ๐
The problem with scrollwork and detailed profiles is that all those curves and crevices are perfect at collecting water. Over time, that moisture adds up and rot sets in. But here`s the thing: the detail work doesn`t have to go.
In the full-length video on YouTube, we show how to restore this rotted decorative trim profile back to its original shape using WEST SYSTEM Wood Rot Repair Epoxy. With some basic prep and a fill coat mixed with 407 Low-Density Filler, you can sculpt the damaged area back to match the surrounding detail.
No replacement piece. No custom millwork order. Just a solid repair done in place.

Your surface looks clean. But is it? ๐ค
Surface contamination is one of the most common causes of epoxy adhesion failure, and it`s especially tricky because most of it is invisible.
Skin oils, mold release wax, silicone from the wrong rag, and even your compressed air line are some of the leading causes of epoxy adhesion failure. And sometimes, the cleaning process itself is the culprit.
If you`ve ever had an epoxy repair fail and couldn`t figure out why, this article is worth your time.

๐งผ Strong bonds start with clean surfaces.
Before bonding the new stringer:
โ๏ธ Clean with a degreaser to remove oil & grease

โ๏ธ Follow with acetone or lacquer thinner in bilges & engine areas
โ ๏ธ Always clean before grinding (donโt grind contaminants in!)
