Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer (CPES) consists of a tough, flexible resin system in a solvent blend which aids in the restoration of rotted or deteriorated wood. The Epoxy Resin system chemically adheres to the wood fibers and significantly strengthens them while allowing for normal expansion and contraction. CPES is effective because of the special blend of solvents that allow it to migrate into the wood fibers and into the cellulose of the wood. Impregnation of the wood with the Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer changes the cellulose of the wood (which the bacteria and fungi find easily digestible) into epoxy impregnated cellulose which resists the fungi, while reinforcing the wood, and accomplishing restoration. CPES is a two-part product. Mixes 1:1 equal parts of A and B by volume. Apply with brush, roller or immersion. Will cure down to 50 F. Also called MultiWoodPrime, CPES makes an excellent paint and varnish primer as it chemically bonds the finish deep inside the wood grain.

Bottom Line:

I have successfully used this product as a base coat for varnish work, sealing new wood before top coating and priming older wooden surfaces for re-coating. This product has a wide temperature range of use even though you can buy Cold and Warm temperature versions. In conjunction with the Fill-It surface filler it produces an excellent wood surface filler, sealing and priming system.
