Construction Support Column Repair

Weathered 9 Foot Wooden Support Columns:

"I had a unique problem to solve at a residential job site here in Connecticut and EZ-Poly was up to the challenge. The repair involved regluing vertical seams on approximately 16, 14" columns supporting eaves that had opened up/split due to poor venting and moisture damage. I had to use a series of strap clamps to close the gaps along their 9' length and the tension was exceptional. I had doubts any adhesive would be able to hold under such stress but after removing the clamps 24 hours later they in fact did hold and hold well. There was no cracking or creaking after the straps were released, it doubled as a great filler, sanded easily and am told that it will accept any type of paint readily. After using EZ-Poly I can offer one suggestion when applying it to large or many areas. Beware that set up time is around 10 minutes and 2 or more people should spread it congruently in order for it to be clamped up quickly. When near set up, I found it much more difficult to compress the joint. Overall, I found it to be an exceptional product and would use it again on a variety of projects. Thanks EZ-Poly."
