Excellent repair. One suggestion - whenever bonding new concrete to old concrete, wet the old concrete first. It helps the new repair fuse to the old concrete.

@jeffbguarino Год назад

I have been told that you are not supposed to wet the concrete because the extra water will weaken the new concrete since it will dilute it at the contact face. So it might do the opposite. I have been told the same thing with tiles in the house , not to wet the tiles before putting them in the mortar. The thin layer of water weakens the mortar that contacts it. This is at the very place where they bond, so in the future , a tile can just pop off the floor .

@DT__1 Год назад

Oh my goood where u getting all that nonsense. New or not old all surfaces is ok for bonding . OLD CONCRETE RENDER BRIKS plasterboards any OLD STUF WILL SUCK WATER OUT OF UR NEW MIX way TO FAST AND THERE WILL BE NO BOND . New surface will harden and separate. U must damp old surfaces and check how fast it dries then u know do u need to damp it or sometimes properly soak it untill it will stop drying fast. Then ur new mix will bond properly.this always the case . As well first RUB NEW MIX TO OLD SURFACE SO IT FILLS ALL IMPERFECTIONS. It will stay there forever.

@jeffbguarino Год назад

@@DT__1 I did a little research and it all depends on what you are doing. If you use thin set mortar then you are not supposed to wet the tile or concrete surface but if you are just using plain cement you should wet the surface so that there are no air cavities. If you don't wet the surface then the water from the cement will separate and go into the dry concrete or tile and cause a weak bond because there is not enough water in the thin layer of cement next to the bond for it to cure properly. Also you have to be careful when you wet the surface that there is not water sitting on the surface because this will do what I said and weaken the cement bond. In a nutshell, you need the proper amount of water in the layer right next to the bonding surface. You have to dampen the tile or other surface and wipe off the excess water. You just need enough water to get the air out of the surface. Many of the new tiles aren't porous so you have to determine what you are working with first.

@joethomas5983 Год назад

When I work on problem areas (water damage) I usually paint the ends of the wood so it doesn't tend to wick the water in the future. You can also use exterior wood glue for this.

@ronnyhakonsen1313 Год назад

seal all ends, problem areas or not. Also the piece in the video is probably rotten because it is to close to the concrete. He should have kept it at least 1"-1.5" above the concrete so it dosent collect moist from below

@nodnodwinkwinkV 2 месяца назад

Yes, highly recommend this as well. It should have gotten a few coats to protect it. It's pushing on top of concrete now and water will get caught behind that silicone he put on the three sides. I would have gone a step further and put a layer of plastic or rubber underneath the bottom of that wood. The amount of filler going into that damp looking rot on the wall siding is just hiding a problem as well. I wonder what it looks like today after two years of weather.

@mst5632 Год назад

End grain, end grain, end grain. The end grain of wood is a bundle of “straws” (tubules) that literally wick water UP the grain of wood via capillary action. So, your wood rotted from water on the porch being chronically wicked up the vertical board until the last few inches were so constantly soaked that the end grain of the horizontal board began wicking out of the vertical board. The boards did not rot from snow sitting on top of them as your entire horizontal board would have been equally rotted. Always seal end grain that will be in direct contact with another surface. Using PT lumber will buy you a few years but will eventually rot as well had you not put gutters on your house. Seal end grains (even PT lumber) & put gutters on your house, or get used to repairing rot routinely. Nice repair job. Thank you for taking the time to share & teach others. Stay blessed.

@britishbulldog8966 Год назад

As a journeyman carpenter I have always tried to isolate wood from concrete. As many others have commented end grain and concrete are just not a great mix, unless you are trying to make compost. When a wood framed house is built on a concrete or block foundation, the wooden base plates are isolated from the concrete for this very reason. Concrete+Wood=Rot, even if there is very little moisture and it feels dry. This goes for fence posts as well.

@JLittleBass Год назад

Great video! But you missed a step :) You should have put some kind of water sealant on the cut surfaces of the PT 2x4 (and then let it dry for 24 hrs) before installing it. Pressure treatment is only surface-level, it doesn't penetrate all the way through the wood, so that nicely angled surface of the wood that's in contact with the waterproof cement is just as vulnerable to rotting again as the wood that was there when you started. So, unfortunately, you're going to have to do this again in a few years! Also, whenever you plan on working with wood filler, you want to have a can of denatured alcohol on hand (which you can find in the paint aisle). It's helpful in application because if you get some onto your putty knife and then smear the wood filler you've applied, before it dries, it will make the surface runny, which is good because it will give you a much smoother surface when it dries, which will save you a lot of sanding work and also make it smoother than you probably ever could with sanding. Also, you can use the denatured alcohol to clean your putty knife and your gloves and whatever else you might accidentally get wood filler on.

You may already have one but. A painters "pull scraper" with the carbide blade, works amazingly well shaving bondo. If you shave it just before it gets hard you will save time on your sanding. I own a small painting business and have become somewhat of a bondo expert 😂 I have noticed bondo is really to hard for exterior wood repairs. The wood moves but the bondo doesn't. I explain it to customers as a band aid. That's basically what it is.

It's alwatys good to paint endgrain of SYP To keep water out, even if you cover all the joints. Endgrain is where the water enters.

@TomCee53 Год назад

Definitely. In fact, in this case I would have cut the upright 1/8” short and put a layer of silicone on both pieces, as well as the bottom. Edit. Putting four screws into a 2” long board is asking for it to split. Bondo also makes a filler for wood. When drilling at an angle, I’ve found it works best to start the hole straight enough to break the surface before drilling at an angle. This keeps it from walking across the surface before the bit grabs.

@MrFreakwent 11 месяцев назад

@@TomCee53 water-thin epoxy works better than silicone if you only want to do it once and be done. Great on stair stringers. Bondo is also good IF it's not put on too thin,and is painted over since polyester resin will absorb moisture over time.

@akenedy Год назад

Try using PPL-3X construction adhesive instead of bondo. Takes longer to set, but much faster and easier to apply since it's ready to apply directly from its caulking tube. It does expand and bubble due to off-gassing while setting, but if handled correctly, this isn't typically an issue. And the slight expansion property is usually beneficial rather than problematic, but sometimes trimming the excess with a knife or razor blade is required to get smooth joints and fills. I use it for filling and patching both wood and concrete. Although it sets with a light brown color, sunlight turns the surface light grey, which matched the concrete on my driveway as perfectly as could be expected, definitely much better match than real concrete or other concrete patching products. It just takes a couple of months of sunlight exposure to bleach the color to grey. It holds up remarkably to the elements. Extra leftover can be stored by capping off the tube or wrapping the end thoroughly with many twists of plastic wrap, then storing the tube in a freezer. Let warm up to room temperature overnight before trying to use it in the future.

@rossl2544 2 года назад

using bodyfiller/bondo for that job is a bad idea as its not waterproof, it will soak up any water or moisture and make the timber rot away faster. You would be fine to use the fibreglass version as the resin in that is waterproof. i know you painted it but the back side is still open to the air and this is where a first coat of fibreglass would have been a benefit to seal it up. a two part wood filler is the same as bodyfiller/Bondo.
