  • I need to fix this rotten portion of our kitchen.

    yeah I know I still haven't done it.

    Has anyone tried something like this, or have any views on this approach:

    Remove the rotten wood (chisel?)

    prep the 'good' wood that's now exposed for epoxy

    re-build with epoxy and finish

    paint

    I don't want to replace the worktop, or even the rotten part. But I will if I can't avoid it.

  • An intermediate bodge is to use some Hydrochloric Acid (the weak stuff you get from the chemist). Try and keep it covered with cling film for a week or so. It should bleach the wood back to its native colour and then varnish.
