As I prepare to tackle the dreaded soft side deck repair, I am doing research on how to go about it. It seems this repair falls into 2 options. Drill and fill on small areas or cut and recore, on larger areas.

How about this. Any one tried it??

Drill several holes around the damaged area. Install a 1/4 air male hose fitting in the middle of the area. Attach a hose and vacum pump. Leave sucking at low pressure and remove the moisture. Later on, intruduce thinned epoxy into the holes and draw it accross the area. Close the holes one by one as epoxy comes out of the vaccum pipe.

Will air pass through the damaged area? Water already has.

I have read many posts describing injection of epoxy with seringes,however they all rely on gravity and wicking to move the epoxy across the damaged area.

A little help from a vacumm system surely would help draw and saturate the core faster. Is there such a system??

O.K. Let me have it.

Thanks
