That door jamb may not be rotting just because of untreated lumber. It could be a cap flashing issue, the lack of caulk at the wood to metal sill junction, or a combination of the above. As a retired home inspector, I'll tell you that cap flashing is the biggest culprit.
Good point. Since only 1 side of the jamb is rotted, you may be right that it's just a flashing or caulk issue. Either way, I'm hoping this wood filler takes care of the issue
@@windsordiy1198 I've found that those damned ribbed sills hold just enough water to channel under the jamb too. Also a nice point to this filler is that it can be carved with a proper knife or even a chisel if one is careful.
This product does adhere to drywall but I imagine a better option would be to replace the damaged drywall and try to stop future water from getting on it. If you can't do that , there are some paints/primers (Zinser and Kilz for example) that offer some water protection and do a good job at hiding the previous stains.
Your video was the best, most concise and comprehensive of the videos I watched. Thank you.
Does the smell dissipate once it cures?
It DOES NOT stain. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even Minwax.
Hardener ratio is why it hardens so fast on you. Try measuring it precisely
Definitely fucked my ratio today

@@ATLparanormalOG That's another good point. Even though it's sloped, those ridges definitely hold some water
Would be nice if the.purtty came out of a tube like the hardner, as it is terribly goopy and sticks to everything.
Can you use this on rotted drywell around a tub by the floor?

I'd replace drywall around a tub enclosure with cement board every time.
Great video, but use a small plastic putty knife for applications, working from the cardboard supply.
