Cracked outside layer of thick plywood. We really don't want to replace it. Hoping to be able to fill the cracks with something and repaint. It's the floor of the entrance to my wife's 60 + year old playhouse.

Thanks
JR

Deck Correct. They have it at Lowe’s. Spread it on really thick.

Eeeks, that’s a tough one. A liquid pourable epoxy maybe?

Perfect for kiwi grip- super easy to apply, durable and has a little bit of built in traction.

It will cover the cracks- stuff goes on thick

Unless you're just dead set on it being white i'd get some of the deck paint at Lowes. It comes in different thicknesses and different grits.

sand the paint off, blow the dust out of the cracks, seal it with an epoxy coat, activate epoxy per instructions, mix well, then dilute with acetone, 2 part acetone to one part activated epoxy, mix well, and paint it on with a wide brush, getting the edges good, keep adding coats from the top down till you used it all. the acetone will draw the epoxy deep into the wood, let cure for 48 hours or longer. i sometimes let it cure for 4-5 days. now you can use a spackle filler with a plastic spreader to fill the cracks, finish sand and paint. the epoxy will make the wood last another lifetime

And what does a 60-year-old woman do in a playhouse built for a 3-year-old? Asking for a friend.

We ended up using WoodEpox and LiquidWood by Abatron. I think sold separately or as a set.

[Linked Image]

The WoodEpox was like a putty that didn't spread well, so we mixed it with the LiquidWood to get it to a consistency of toothpaste. it spread much easier. let it dry 24 hours, sanded and painted.

We're happy with the results, but time will tell. The black spots are dead bugs.

I think Tuff Coat would be thick enough to fill in those cracks. It is a two step process , an epoxy primer and a rubberized , non skid paint.

Works great on boats , and piers. do a search on you tube.

Spread some caulk on it.

Just pump the caulk real good. Then sling the caulk on it. Then spread the caulk with a rag or your hands. Just don't lick your fingers until you get all the caulk off of them. You may want to call a friend so he can help you. You can never have too much caulk. Make sure the caulk is dry before you paint it.


Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

My Daughter in law has a very similar play house on their property up in Wood County. My stepson uses it as a deer stand. It has ac/heat and a TV.
Can deer hunt and watch football at the same time. smile
