[Rhodes22-list] winter projects

Slim,
     Get Rot is a penetrating epoxy.  I have used it and it works.  You
drill holes into the rotted wood to get saturation.  Then saturate let
dry and layer up to the desired level.  You can varnish over it for a
uniform finish.  It is supposed to be quite strong.  It will also work
on any rotted wood that is reasonably dry.  It is supposed to even work
on wet wood.  It dries clear to show the wood.  
	But if you have a lot of deterioration, it might be better to
follow Rummy's suggestion to a new tiller.

I'll be doing my tiller this winter too.  There are some areas where the
wood is pitted and rotten.  To sand all the rot out would take it down
too
far.  I've heard of something called "Get Rot" or something that you can
put
on rotting wood to stabilize it.  Anybody know what that is?
