From Concrete to Wood restoration and heavy duty permanent repairs, we have you covered.Yeah; We can fix that Review: Works great - Great product.easy to use Review: Wow this stuff really does work. - I used this to repair and restore my almost completely mahogany rotten deck railing. I applied it as the simple instructions say, waited the appropriate time (in my case I needed to wait about18 hours for it to "cure" and it provided a hard surface that I could then apply the wood epoxy (same company) to. While it does not absorb the stain to provide the same color as before it really was not a problem for me since the finished product looked even better than I would have liked. After the final wood epoxy dried and I sanded it with the orbital sander, and then stained it, the finished product had "veins" of beautiful almond streaks within the darker "mahogany flame" Cabot stain that I used. I will post a picture here in a bit when I get the time. This product –The PC Products PC-Petrifier really does "petrify" your wood. It absorbs into the wood (first of course, you must clear away any of the truly loose particles and clean up the area that you must eventually fill with filler) after you either spray it on or brush it on (you can even pour it on if you want but I wanted more control so I put some into a spray bottle). Then just let it harden. I put a second application on some parts to make sure. Man, this stuff worked great. I never thought I could restore my railings (I was considering throwing one out) and I am so glad I found this product (and they also have a great wood epoxy). I am now a 100% believer. ## Features - Wood Hardener Repairs Wood Damaged By Insects Or Rot - It Is A Liquid That Is Brushed, Sprayed Or Injected Into The Pores Of The Wood - No Mixing - Not for use on wet or damp wood, ensure a dry surface before use - Prepares Wood For Filling, Priming And Painting ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00081FW1I | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,474 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #16 in Wood Filler | | Brand | PC Products | | Brand Name | PC Products | | Color | Milky White | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,985 Reviews | | Full Cure Time | 24 Hours | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00054983164440 | | Included Components | (1) 16 oz Wood Hardener | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Type Name | PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Protective Coating Co. | | Material | Liquid | | Material Type | Liquid | | Model | 164440 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Non Toxic | | Part Number | 164440 | | Special Feature | Non Toxic | | Specific Uses For Product | wood | | UPC | 742839405068 054983164440 330051852304 305487753631 549831644408 300718774270 802201404713 719243464363 742839405938 094089050049 355135632474 078433169595 651628774912 | | Unit Count | 16.0 Fluid Ounces | | Viscosity Level | Low | | Volume | 470 Milliliters | | Warranty Description | Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PC Products - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Material:** Liquid - **Special Feature:** Non Toxic - **Specific Uses For Product:** wood ## Images ![PC Products PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XvK9kmK5L.jpg) ![PC Products PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61E4hs1IzgL.jpg) ![PC Products PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61geQ7rWV0L.jpg) ![PC Products PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iN4bBDepL.jpg) ![PC Products PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bM5f7WJiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Since I don't want to sand stain off the soft wood, would it work to drill small holes into the wood and "inject" the product directly into the holes?** A: I think this might work, I had very old shed with rotten windows sills and drilled holes in rotten wood. This was some years back. If I remember correctly it instructed you to drill holes for deeper penetration of the decayed areas of the wood. I will say the wood was more like rock when hardened **Q: I'm replacing slats in an old bench with new pine. Would this be good to harden and waterproof the new/undamaged wood, then stain after?** A: No, new wood won't absorb it very well. It's for old spongy wood. There must be other products that are designed for preservation rather than restoration. (BTW, I wasn't impressed with it for old wood either.) **Q: Can this be used on mdf or particle board that has begun to expand and separate slightly? Such as the bottom of an arcade cabinet?** A: This will stop rot and hold together wood that has become rotten. The expansion will not go away. You might use in conjunction with yellow carpenters glue (water proof) and clamp the cabinet to force expansion and separation back to proper form. I have used on wood that had termite and water damage and the restorer hardened the wood and do the same for manufactured wood. **Q: Does the wood need to be completely dry?** A: I'm guessing it would be better if the wood was completely dry but I do it with wet wood all the time. I stabilize wood with this and I use a vacuum pump to do it. Once the vacuum pump draws a suction on the wood while it's submersed in the hardener it will have all the air sucked out of it and the hardener will will saturate it to the bone so the thing will be stabilized so that you could run it through the dish washer. There are several videos on this on YouTube. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great *by G***A on May 11, 2026* Great product.easy to use ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow this stuff really does work. *by V***L on December 16, 2025* I used this to repair and restore my almost completely mahogany rotten deck railing.

But being watery it soaks down into the decaying wood you're interested in. Next day, wood is solid enough and you can put nails into it. I have outdoor parts that were done a few years ago, they are still firm and not rotting. That said, if you're looking to fill up cracks, you'll need something else. ## Frequently Bought Together - PC Products PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener, 16 oz, Milky White 164440 - PC Products PC-Woody Wood Repair Epoxy Paste, Two-Part 6 oz in Two Cans, Tan 083338 - Gorilla All Purpose Wood Filler, Natural Finish, 16 Ounce Tub (Pack of 1) - Water Resistant for Indoor or Outdoor Projects and Repairs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5489512-pc-products-pc-petrifier-water-based-wood-hardener-16-fl](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5489512-pc-products-pc-petrifier-water-based-wood-hardener-16-fl) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
