What this stuff called?

You see it at the Nats exhibits. It is a thin resin that soaks into what you put it on. They demonstrate with rotten wood and show you what it can do. I thought I had a flyer but cannot find it. Thanks.

Hey guy I know what you mean and can't think of the name either, look on some of the woodie boards or websites.  A lot of the guys use it for repair maybe they can put you on it.

It used to be called furtran, but it may have changed.

No, this stuff is a thin resin--pours more like water than resin so it soaks into everything rather than staying on top. The reason I want to use it is to turn a piece of waterproof cardboard into a hardened piece of fiberglass-like material. I am making a new curved header piece for the interior of the '32--the piece that fits between the ceiling and windshield. I am thinking of taking a mold and reproducing a few. I found that to be one of the PITA things about doing my interior. Having something like this would have saved me a lot of time.

if its waterproof cardboard, how is it going to absorb?

This is wierd.  I just got done using some.  It's called Kwik Poly.  I had some water damage on a bottom corner of a storm door with a wood core.  I've had it in the house drying out for a couple of weeks and just plasticized the punky area.  

I've had  the stuff for a few years and have used it on quite a few small things.  You can even make a plastic casting with it.

I don't know how strong it would be for a finished piece made from cardboard but you might be able to make a pattern to pull a mold off of.

It's 2 part and it is thin like water when you first mix it but beware...it sets up pretty fast....like in a couple of minutes.

In the marine trade we used Git Rot.  It soaks in, encapsulates the wood cells and makes rotted, dry rotted wood strong again. Made by Boat Life, available in all marine stores.

This http://www.abatron.com/home002.htm company offers that kind of product and even the "sold everywhere" line of Minwax has an item called "Wood Hardener"

Thank you, George. That's the stuff! I knew you guys would know. Thanks for the link.

I've used their Liquid Wood,and WoodEpox.

Liquid Wood will soak in,WoodEpox is a filler to replace missing pieces.

Worked well.
