Once a wood member is repaired with any of your products, can the epoxied area take nails or spikes in the case of large beams or is it too dense or brittle?

Sincerely,
Roy A.

Roy,

The products are not brittle, by any means, but possibly too strong. It just depends on how much epoxy you are trying to go through.

In some cases, you should be able to drive as normal. If you try, and get too much resistance, just drill a smaller pilot hole and you should be fine.

Doc
