PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener 32 oz Milky White | PC Products

Revitalize rotted wood with PC-Petrifier

PC-Petrifier is a single-component, water-based wood hardener designed to fully penetrate and revitalize rotted wood. The formula is environmentally friendly and uses low viscosity to reach deep into soft wood fibers, helping restore the feel of stiffness in weakened areas. This treatment is suited for non-structural restoration in select parts like window sills, sashes, frames, trim, decorative beams, and columns. It can also be used to prepare old wood for priming and painting, giving your projects a refreshed surface once the wood dries.

What it is and how it works

The hardener addresses rot and insect-damaged wood in non-structural locations. The liquid can be brushed, sprayed, or injected into the wood pores, letting the formula flow into micro-pores for even distribution. You don't need to mix the product; simply gather the tools you already use for painting or repair and apply as directed. For best results, make sure the surface is dry before application.

Where to use and real-life scenarios
