Sometimes when we are contemplating doing wood repair instead of replacing a whole piece/section of wood, it can be very easy to be unsure as to the exact “best” approach.
After all, isn’t replacing the wood the best option?
Even if it were not, there are a number of different repair methodologies out there, how can you tell what will work best?
Although replacing wood may theoretically be the “best” option, because of cost, age of the wood, etc., it may be wiser to look into other approaches – i.e. – a wood epoxy.
A while back, a friend of mine from Upstate New York invented a product which is absolutely phenomenal, and I believe far superior to everything else on the planet when it comes to wood repair.
His company – Next Generation Systems (NGS) – offers a variety of products that serve several wood repair needs, including those being done in varying temperatures and – believe it or not – on horizontal surfaces (such as old porch floors)!
NGS epoxy products are widely regarded as the best options for wood repair due to their unparalleled performance, innovative formulation, and user-centric features. Their epoxies are engineered with advanced technology to provide superior bonding, durability, and versatility, making them the go-to solution for professionals and Do-It-Yourself enthusiasts alike.
Here’s what I believe sets NGS products apart:
1. Exceptional Bonding and Structural Integrity
NGS epoxies create a molecular-level bond with wood fibers, ensuring that repaired areas are as strong as, or stronger than, the original material. This capability makes them ideal for repairing structural damage, filling voids, and stabilizing deteriorated wood. Unlike other products that may shrink or crack over time, NGS epoxies maintain a solid, gap-free bond, preserving the integrity of the repaired structure.
2. Moisture and Rot Resistance
One standout feature of NGS epoxy is its high resistance to moisture. This property is critical for outdoor applications or repairs in humid environments, where exposure to water can lead to wood rot or failure of lesser adhesives. NGS formulations also prevent further decay by sealing the wood and providing a waterproof barrier.
3. Versatility Across Applications
NGS epoxies can handle a wide range of wood repair tasks, from minor cosmetic fixes to large-scale structural repairs. They are compatible with various wood types and can be used for marine applications, furniture restoration, and architectural conservation. The flexibility of their epoxies also allows for sanding, shaping, and painting, enabling seamless integration with existing surfaces.
4. Ease of Use
The user-friendly design of NGS products simplifies the repair process. Their epoxies have an ideal viscosity for penetrating deep into wood fibers while remaining easy to mix and apply. Extended working times give users flexibility without compromising cure strength.
5. Sustainability and Longevity
NGS is committed to environmental stewardship. Their epoxies are formulated to be low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing their environmental impact. Moreover, repairs done with NGS products last for decades, reducing the need for repeat repairs and material waste.
6. Proven Reputation
NGS products are trusted by quite a number of industry experts (not just me!), preservationists, and contractors worldwide. Their consistent quality and innovative technology have earned them a reputation as the gold standard in epoxy solutions.
By combining unmatched performance, ease of use, and eco-conscious design, Next Generation Systems delivers the best epoxy products for wood repair on the planet.
