Obviously you've never heard a viola or heard of the word "voila".
Maybe you need a product called PULL-YER-HEAD-OUTTA-YER-ASS.

Maybe he misread it as GOT-ROT? :)

Sigh. I wasn't suggetsing there was any rot. Seemingly you have
obviously never heard of GIT-ROT, and equally obviously you apparently
did not bother to look it up.
I'm not about to do your homework for you. However, GIT-ROT is a
special epoxy often used in situations like yours, not necessarily just
for rotted wood. Drill holes part way thru, insert GIT-ROT, it sets up,
and viola, you've got a solid fix.
Or, you could cut some thin plywood, and laminate that on. 'Course
then you'd have to paint it or sumthin'. You could even use cardboard
for that, soak it with epoxy and let it set. Loads of options, all
you've gotta do is think about it.

JOAT may be a pain in the butt, but misspelling "voila" doesn't call for
such a comment.

Wed, Aug 9, 2006, 10:04am (EDT-3) [email protected] doth wonder:
Getting back to the topic, if I use "git-rot" (which you could have just
said "use git-rot" without just saying "git-rot"), i have to drill a
hole in the chest? I don't wan't to ruin it more than it already is. For
starters, do i wipe it with a wet cloth/napkin, or leave it the way it
is?
This is just a guess mind you, because you don't bother saying who
you're addressing, that you're referring to my response to your post.
If you go back and read my post again you'll see that I did "not"
just say "git-rot". My original post was GIT-ROT?, with a question
mark. The reason I simply did not say "Use GIT-ROt" was because I was
leaving it up to you whether to use it or not. Me, with a cheap-ass
chest like that, I'd probably just toss it. But, if I wanted to try to
preserve it, for whatever reason, I'd possibly epoxy some thin plywood
on the inside, or cardboard, or fibreglass it. If you're paying
atterntion you'll see I used the word "possibly", so don't come back
later and try to claim I "told" you to do it that way.
Personally, I now think you're just trying to jerk our chains.

Thanks. LOL Ah, but I didn't mis-spell it. I try not to use
words from any country that believes mimes and Jerry Lewis are
entertainment. The guy's obviously one of the too tight people.

If you truly want to screw things up, then start using git-rot.
It is strictly a lame excuse for not doing the job correctly.

In that case I'm at a loss as to what relevance a four-stringed musical
instrument had to the discussion.

What is your purpose in this preservation? Do you need a chest in which to
store things or is it a historical artifact that goes in a museum exhibit
or is it evidence in a trial or do you have fond memories of it from
childhood or what? Methods appropriate for one aren't appropriate for
another.

System1 has a "rot fix" epoxy that should be able to soak into the particle
board or whatever it's made out of--probably won't go all the way through
before it cures but should seal it anyway and give a decent amount of
structural integrity. No guarantees though and no guarantee that it won't
bleed through the facing, which I presume is veneer.

Don't have a clue what your project is.
What I saw was "Git-rot", a high cost, low viscosity product palmed
off on wooden boat owners as a way of not having to replace rotted wood.
Usually, after using git-rot, the boat owner still have to replace the
rotted timbers.

Good day!
I acquired a wooden chest that's about 50 years old. Actually the top is
wooden, the other 5 sides are pressed wood and they're slowly by surely
falling apart. Is there anything I can do to prevent the deterioration
of the chest? Thanks for the help.
GIT-ROT?
