Overview and Impressions of the Wood Knot Repair System Pro

- In this shorter video I take a closer look at a recent purchase I made. It is a complete kit designed to repair knots in wood which I think will be really useful with the amount of reclaimed timber I use. Hope you enjoy it đ.
As ever, thank you so much for your continued support in my disability woodworking adventures. Please consider giving the video a thumbs up and maybe even subscribing to the channel. Best Wishes, Leo

Do you mean Cyanoacrylate glue? Think you had contact adhesive on the brain
Youâre absolutely right palđđ. Iâve pinned this message to the top before everyone makes the same observation, and yes Iâd been using contact adhesive that day so (pardon the pun) must have been stuck in my mind đ€đ
Great result Leo. I guess if youâre doing this all the time itâd be worth the dosh. Either way, itâs always nice getting a new tool, especially when it saves you so much time.
Itâll pay for itself in a few jobs Mandy. Anything I earn woodworking wise goes straight back into equipment atm and I think this is a worthwhile investment đđ
That's very impressive Leo, you could also use it to cover recessed screws instead of filler or dowels and make that a feature đ
Iâve done that once Bill and it looks great đđđđ
I like it, very neat finish !!!
It does leave a great finish and so simple to do pal, even I can do it đ€đ
Cool concept
Itâs a great piece of kit pal đđ
Smart kit Leo!
Thanks Dean, it is a really neat piece of kit and it works a treat đđđđ
Great as usual pal
Thanks Ricky, as always đđ
It looks like a great result hope it works with paints and stains
Thanks Pat, yes it takes the hard wax oil I use so happy with that đđđđ
Nice bit of kit and satisfying to use Iâd say. Think Iâve seen Cameron on Blacktail use on of these. Cheers đđŒ
I have seen Cam using this pal now you mention it. His channel is doing so well now. Been watching it since the early days and it has just gone crazy the last year or so đ
@@Hand-i-Craft was going to make a horrible pun joke too but I wood knot want to be that guy đ

How tough/hard is the filled knot when its cooled Leo as I couldnât tell from the video? Hot melt glue gun sticks are always slightly soft even when dried, whereas I guess you want this to be as hard as the wood when set
Itâs solid Geoffrey, just been checking it now as I saw your comment before. Sets solid and has taken the wax oil finish as well đđ
@@Hand-i-Craft Excellent. I will bear these in mind when I have a similar project. Still on workshop fitting out and garage sorting out, so no jobs with âniceâ output yet! Cheers
Great solution to filling irregular holes and knots. Expensive gun though...I imagine they could profit from making a kit for those of us who already have a hot glue gun.
Yes, it does have specific temperatures on the gun pal, but hopefully the knot filler is compatible with just a regular glue gunđđ
@@Hand-i-Craft The sticks are 12mm gauge and will work on any gun that can reach a stable temp of 170 degrees
I guess a lot of people will be wondering if they can use the sticks in their existing glue guns instead of buying the kit, looks good though Leo
Glitter hot glue sticks too!!!!
Good point mate, not sure what the answer is but Iâm sure someone will give it a go đ
Thatâs eactly what I was thinking. Its a neat solution but the gun seems very expensive when you can buy other âcraftâ guns for ÂŁ15 or thereabouts.
From the website you showed it looks like the filler sticks are 12mm diameter, whereas most glue guns are 7mm or 11mm. It would of course be possible to file/carve the sticks down if they couldnât be pushed through an 11mm gun.
I did like the mould that you can use to empty old glue out into and reform into a new stick when changing colour, thatâs one issue I have always had with using coloured glue sticks.
You definately can use a regular gun. The big advantage with he wood repair pro gun is a high wattage gun and heats up very quickly, but it is only a glue gun. The secret is the sticks, not the gun.
The sticks are 12mm gauge and will work on any gun that can reach a stable temp of 170 degrees
A bit expensive for the full kit
Full retail it is mate, but they often have really good sales. Thatâs when I bought mine đđ
