M-Balm by Perma-Chink Systems, Inc. is a liquid wood epoxy that penetrates deeply into porous, deteriorated, dried-out or spongy wood, curing and hardening into a strong, water-resistant mass that includes both the original wood fibers and the epoxy mixture. M-Balm is a two-component liquid epoxy. The more M-Balm used, the stronger the restored wood member becomes. It consolidates the decayed area in preparation for use with E-Wood. M-Balm should always be used in preparation for filling pockets of decayed wood with E-Wood epoxy putty. M-Balm cannot be diluted. Each component (Part A & B) is formulated to chemically react based on the defined mix ratios that are found on the label. M-Balm and E-wood should not be blended together. Doing this will impact the designed performance of the end product. Made in the USA.

Tip: M-Balm does NOT have to be cured before applying E-Wood. Epoxies do not “dry” in the sense that they must be in contact with air. They rely on chemical reactions to harden and cure so M-Balm will harden just as rapidly under E- Wood as it will if left exposed. In fact, applying E-Wood before the M-Balm cures results in an even stronger bond to the wood.
Application Temp: 40-90°F.
Coverage: Depends on wood porosity.
Cleanup: Uncured mixed M-Balm (Part A and Part B) may be cleaned up with white vinegar then flushed with water.
Drying Time: 12 to 24 hours. Cures slower in low temps. (Never change mixing rates to compensate for temperature.)
