Has anyone on here ever heard of a product called Quick-Polly? I was talking to a friend on the phone this evening and he was telling me about this two part chemical that's on the market that he used to repair some rotten wood on his Stanley Steamer body. He also says it can be used to coat gas tanks with, that nothing can make it dissolve or turn loose. He said he fixed a tank that had holes the size of quarters in it by using masking tape on the holes and then pouring the mix inside tank to coat it with and in 20 minutes was hard as rock.
 
used it many years ago on a header corner; it came with a powder (like flour) as a thickener. It did hold screws quite well.
 
There are several types on the market, Git rot is another and I have used the stuff from these guys, almost water thin so it soaks in the wood.

I thought there was a thread from the past that showed different products, but I can't seem to find any.

I've used it on compromised wood. It sets very fast...too fast really. Not enough time to fully penetrate.

Kwik-Poly was actually formulated for the equine industry where Vets and Farriers used it on horses hooves that were split or incorrectly shaped. The quick drying time is what they were after, and then they could file/going the horse hooves to the shape that helped the horse walk better. Only later did someone decide to introduce it to antique car restoration.
 
I used a product called MarineTex on an old wooden boat I had with great results. Wood was severely rotted and this stuff soaked in nicely and set up hard. Kind of like Bondo on steroids.
 
I have used quick poly with good results. I used it on the door frames of a fordor that were wobbly, and it fixed them fine. I also used it to replace the cardboard tack strip in two sets of roadster pickup top irons, by mixing it with sawdust and forcing it into the channel on the top iron, then sanding it level. With the addition of sawdust, it held tacks well. It is important that the sawdust be perfectly dry, as this stuff has a bad reaction with moisture.
 
I used it too on my town sedan and roadster top irons to fill the tack strips and was happy with the results, I bought it from LeBaron Bonney.
