Why ‘Make Wood Good’?
We love wood, and believe that many more people would use this lovely material if it’s maintenance requirements were lower. Lower maintenance wood is good wood, that will be used by more people. If you did not have to paint them so often, more people would choose wooden windows rather than UPVC, and the world would be more beautiful as a result. CPES completely cures premature varnish failure, and drastically reduces maintenance costs of painted or varnished timber as a result.
So Why Smiths Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer™ (CPES™)?
I have used this remarkable product, also known as CPES™ in America and Lignu Impregnating Epoxy in Scandinavia, for a number of years now. I have used it for both restoration of rotten wood and preservation of new wood as the ultimate primer; for this second purpose it is marketed in America as ‘MultiWoodPrime™’. CPES and MultiWoodPrime are exactly the same product, labelled to convey the two distinct functions it performs so well. Manufacturers of wooden products can use it to enhance their reputations by massively extending the life of their products whilst reducing the maintenance costs of the paint or varnish finish.
It has never been easy to buy in the UK, and with some major restoration work due on my house, from the priming of new oak window frames to the restoration and repair of softwood and hardwood structural timbers, I had to acquire some more. After a short while I had my Victor Kiam / Remington moment, and not having enough money to ‘buy the company I liked so much’, decided to establish a distribution arrangement instead.
Smiths CPES manufacturing in Europe
We were mufacturing CW formula CPES in Europe, until a problem with the outsourced manufacturign company brought an end to that arrangment. We are currently importing and repckaging into fully Reach compliant Euro packaging, in Litre rather than US Imperial cans. It is our intention to resume manufacturing durign 2021 once suitable facilities can be found.
Uses of Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer
Preservation – As a Primer For Wood
Application of Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer (CPES or MultiWoodPrime) to new timber offers some remarkable advantages to anything constructed from wood. It creates a breathable sealant, penetrating deeply into new timber, especially on vulnerable areas such as end grain. Used as the ultimate primer it promotes adhesion of your top coat, making it last much longer and reducing maintenance costs. This saves time, money and the environment. From boats to window frames, it’s just solid commercial sense, do it once, do it right, make wood good!
Manufacturing – Priming New Exterior Wood To Increase Durability
If you are manufacturing wooden products, how well they last and how good they look defines the quality of your product. Whether painted or varnished, application of MultiWoodPrime at manufacture will offer an additional revenue stream for your joinery shop, whilst enhancing your reputation for quality and durability. Further it will significantly reduce the maintenance costs of your product if it is exposed to the elements, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Ideally suited to anyone manufacturing: Doors, Window Frames, Outdoor Furniture, Sheds, Gates, Timber (or part timbered) Buildings or any other exterior wood product.
Bulk Packs for Manufacturers: Larger sizes of most products are available for use by manufacturing businesses wishing to offer these remarkable products to their customers. If you make wooden doors, windows, sheds, fences or any other wood products that are exposed to the elements, then please contact us for further details. The longer your product lasts and looks good, the better it reflects on you.
Restoration – Curing Rot, Consolidating and Recovering Profiles
Restore don’t replace.
It saves time, money and the environment all at once.
Damaged wood can be made good, and resistant to further attack by rot and insects using a combination of CPES and Fill-It. Make Wood Good sell dedicated repair kits containing the ingredients required to affect repairs to rotten timbers and masonry cracks at a discounted price.
