   Pat - How bad is it? Are you sure that you can't remove it and use epoxy consolidation techniques to repair?

   *b TVMDCPat, Consolidation is a efficient way to make repairs rather than replace, especially if the cause of damage is either dryrot or termites. Using an epoxy primer then an epoxy filler, you can repair just about anything with the ability to sand, drill, nail, prime and paint.Please advise if interested and I will post the products I like to use.

   *I would be interested in techniques for building up reasonably fine detail with epoxy filler. Perhaps I haven't used sufficiently thick expoxy, but I find that the epoxy fillers tend to slump, run, and stick to the plastic spatula when I try to build out grooves and ridges.

   *Casey - Have you ever used this?. Great stuff, and John Stahl is very good with advice as well. We've had him visit a project in progress to demonstrate techniques.PS Pat - Any chance of a photo or description of how bad it is?Jeff

   *How does that stuff compare with the Abatron products?

   *LiquidWood is fine, but the Advanced Repair material is far better than WoodEpox IMMHO.Jeff

   *A combination of some rough shaped stock and west system epoxy would be my choice.West system has several different thickening agents and I have used them for column bases and heavily contoured window trim. Laying up some stock and running it through a shaper is a choice if you have access and experience. Skip

   I need to replace some crown moulding (about 3" high, 2 1/2" projection) on
   the front of an old eyebrow dormer. Does anyone have a clever solution,
   short of having the material duplicated out of solid stock?
