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. The Cold Weather version of Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer was developed because sometimes repairs such as restoration of deteriorated wood, repair of osmosis-damaged fiberglass boats, and/or coatings must be done in the winter. CPES Cold Weather Formula was designed to be used in the temperature range of 28-65 F. Also called MultiWoodPrime, this epoxy sealer makes an excellent paint and varnish primer as it chemically bonds the finish to the wood

If you want a wood item to last any amount of time in the elements, this is great stuff to use! It really does soak in to the porous part of the wood and seal it from water. It'll help paint stick a lot better too. For maximum protection of wood, I use a coat of straight epoxy set onto the green cured CPES, then follow that with paint. At that point that wood is NOT going to rot!
