If deterioration is less than 1/8 inch deep, no repair is necessary. Fill area with wood patching material.

If deterioration is deeper than 1/8-inch, but less than half the depth of the member and/or less than 33-percent of the existing member is compromised/deteriorated, make epoxy repairs as recommended by epoxy manufacturer and as follows:

• Remove either with dry scraping or solvent-based chemical strippers all non-adhered, “alligatored” or heavily built-up paint down to sound paint and/or bare wood;

• Remove all paint, down to wood substrate, in the immediate vicinity of each repair;

• Ensure member to be repaired is clean and dry;

• Mix and use epoxy components in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions; for respective applications as consolidants, adhesives, and fillers. Add bulking agents (micro-balloons), in volumes not exceeding manufacturer's recommendations, to increase post-cure workability;

The amount of wood removed should be minimized but the amount should include all deteriorated wood and extend just beyond damaged wood into sound substrate to prevent the spread of any fungus. Cut away area shall provide ample glue surface.

• Cut Dutchman to exactly fit void, with exposed portion matching original profile of woodwork and just slightly proud of original surface. Orient grain of Dutchman parallel to grain of element being patched.

• Where deterioration or loss at end of component requires Dutchman repair, use a diagonal scarf joint for end-to-end joint between Dutchman and remaining portion of component.

• Clean glue surfaces with acetone or denatured alcohol. Insert Dutchman using specified adhesive and clamp in place until glue is set. Where clamping is not feasible, use small brads; remove brads and fill holes after adhesive has set.

• Plane or scrape Dutchman to provide smooth continuous surface coplanar with adjacent wood.

Do not damage or alter profile or finish of adjacent wood.

• After cure, dress repair to final shape, blending surface of repair to surface of original material without apparent joint.

If depth of deterioration is greater than half the thickness of the member or exceeds 33-percent of the entire member and the deterioration cannot be repaired utilizing a Dutchman or epoxy methods, the entire member shall be replaced:

• Carefully remove fasteners at deteriorated member.

• Remove deteriorated member, taking care not to damage adjacent members.

• Remove adhesive residue and fasteners from adjacent members.

• Fabricate new members to match existing size, thickness, shape, and length. Wood shall be same species with configurations, profiles, dimensions and joinery exactly matching those of the existing elements. Machine and surface all new replacement wood elements to provide smooth even surfaces without saw marks or plane marks. Wood with surface irregularities, including but not limited to scratches, saw marks, and plane knife marks, visible after finish has been applied will be rejected and shall be replaced with properly finished wood elements at no additional cost.
