Epoxy resin for wood:
How to achieve professional results

Epoxy glue for wood is valued by DIYers and professionals alike for its exceptional strength and long-lasting adhesion. It creates durable, waterproof seals that can easily be cleaned, sanded and drilled. These qualities make it ideal for use on wooden furniture. Simply apply the wood epoxy, wait for it to set, and then add some finishing touches for professional results.

Follow these simple steps to successfully apply woodworking epoxy.

1. Prepare the surfaces. Make sure that they’re clean and dry.
2. Get the syringe ready. Cut the tips, then tilt the syringe up and depress the plunger to push out the air bubbles.
3. Dispense the resin and hardener. Use a clean, disposable container like a paper cup.
4. Mix. For best results, mix thoroughly for about a minute.
5. Apply the wood epoxy. Spread the epoxy in a thin, even layer on both surfaces and press them together.
6. Remove any excess epoxy. It’s best to remove it quickly while it’s still wet, using a cloth and methylated spirit. Once it’s cured, you can scrape it off with a knife.
