	Glad I bought this stuff!
I used this epoxy product on my garden railroad streets. I had written Glen-L about encapsulating particle board in their epoxy for use outside. They said it should work so I tried it. In the spring of 2008, I cut particle board into 96 by 12 strips and added wood edging for the surfaces that had been cut. I then sealed each strip in 3 coats of Poxy-Shield epoxy and apinted the street surfaces with RustOleum paint after lightly sanding the epoxy. I would say the idea was a success even though I now have to replace the streets. In the spring of 2010, the wood edging I attached had come loose and allowed moisture to seep into the particle board causing it to swell and disintegrate. If I had applied the edges using epoxy instead of wood glue I may not have had this problem. Even so, I learned a lot about epoxy. For one thing it goes a lot longer way than I thought so I have about a half gallon left which is now over 3 years old. It still seems to work good. In fact, I now coat all the bases of my garden railroad buildings which are made from wood in 3 coats of epoxy to waterproof them. I mix it using teaspoons and tablespoons for small mounts. To speed up curing times, I heat the oven to 170 degrees, turn it off and let it cool to about 110 degrees then pop small epoxied parts in. So far, so good. I think this is an excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone who likes do-it-yourself projects. Ive even used it to repair a proch railing that had started to rot. I chiseled out the rotten wood, sanded down the good wood and poured Poly-Shield epoxy in to fill the chiseled out area then sanded and painted the railing using latex house paint. That was 2 years ago and it still looks good. In fact, it worked better than epoxy products sold by home centers for that purpose. Next time I will order the fast setting hardener.

	During construction, its nice to see a bolt once in a while, but.....
I would be lost without PoxyShield to use as a laminating adhesive, a filler mixed with Silica, to encapsulate, and as a resin in fiber glassing. PoxyShield does it all. Recently, I scarf joined 8 inch wide 3/8 inch plywood strips, one 8 feet and one 3 feet long, after hardening I encapsulated both sides. Again after hardening and lifting at the center, I flapped the 11-foot long length like the wings of a bird. No cracks nor fractures in the PoxyShield. Its super flexible, too.
