Wood Repair
Repair Tasks For Wood
The wood repair depends on the extent and size of the damage to the wood. The repair may require cutting out the damaged part of the wood and replacing it with new wood. And the replacement of the entire wood may be needed if the damage is significant, and no amount of time remediation can restore its functionality.
Simple Wood Repair Steps
The wood repair involves some steps after discovering the damage to the wood. Here are some steps involved.
1. Removal of the Rotten or Damaged Section
Identifying and removing the damaged part of the wood is the first step. You can use an oscillating saw to cut out the part where a patch will be made.
2. Prepare the Patch
Measure the area cut out and prepare the patch to fit. Besides, schedule acrylic latex caulking to apply to the patch to ensure proper fit.
3. Install the Patch
Insert the patch into the cut space and mail it down appropriately. Fill any joints and holes with wood filler and prime & paint the surface to meet the existing finish.
