DIY construction and repair. Beams after a certain time, under the influence of atmospheric precipitation, change their color and rot. In order to prevent the beams from destroying them, you can restore them with your own hands, while adding a life. To find out which structural beams are damaged, they should be tapped with a wooden hammer. In the process of tapping, areas of beams will be clearly heard, in which voids were formed. Having determined the areas of the lesion on the beam, it is opened with a chisel or ax, while opening access to the void. The degree of defect is determined if the cross -sectional damage is 50%, the beams must be replaced immediately, it cannot be restored to restoration. The percentage of damage is small, the beam is repaired, for this the surface of the beam is checked for humidity. If the humidity is too large, the beams are left for a while the necessary for its drying. After drying, the entire rotten part of the beam, small chips, sawdust, and dirt are lined with a vacuum cleaner. Before filling the void on its surface, impregnation is applied. After that, you can buy a car in a nuclearine. Then the open void inside the beam is eliminated with synthetic resin and quartz sand, sometimes wood flour is added. On sale there are epoxy, acrylic, polyester resins, each of them is qualitatively suitable for filling the voids. Mix the mixture, should be strictly according to the instructions. Small cracks on the surface of the beams are eliminated by putty. Put the putty with a spatula, removing an excess solution immediately. Cracks need to be filled carefully and tightly so that they do not have the space in which water falls. In winter, water freezes, and tears a crack, increasing its size, destroying the beams. Having completed the restoration of the beams to give them the same color, it should be opened with a stain. The performance of work will save a wooden structure for a long time, giving it a new bright view.
