What do you recommend to fill the rot with. If i cut out all the rot what shoud i fill it back in with? I have hurd of polyester resin and sawdust is that a good idea or no?
For repairing rot in log homes, the most reliable and lasting approach is to remove all rotted sections and consider professional restoration methods for the replacement. While DIY solutions like polyester resin mixed with sawdust can offer temporary fixes for minor issues, they might not ensure long-term structural integrity or aesthetic compatibility. Epoxy-based fillers provide a stronger alternative for small repairs, but for extensive damage, professional restoration, such as employing half or full log replacements, is advisable. Professionals, like those at American Log Restoration, have the expertise to ensure repairs blend seamlessly with the original structure, preserving both the home’s integrity and its natural beauty. Engaging professionals not only guarantees the quality of the repair but also addresses the underlying issues effectively, preventing future problems.
