It's hard to say how much LiquidWood will soak into the rotted wood. As far as WoodEpox coverage goes, 2 pints covers 58 cubic inches & 2 quarts 116 cubic inches. You can use that coverage as a "ball park" figure for the LiquidWood, but it will vary depending on the amount of rot you have to consolidate.

The LiquidWood and WoodEpox products work great. It does require some practice to understand the cure rates, to have the right selection of applicator bottles, and to judge how best to time the changes in viscosity after mixing with the project needs. Also, WoodEpox is stainable, but in order to match adjacent wood, I have the best success in repairing mahogany floors and doors by reapplying stain directly on wet varnish using a cotton swab. That’s because the wiping step after staining will typically favor the removal of stain from the WoodEpox patch compared with the adjacent wood, and, later, the varnish brush will also typically further swipe away the stain from the WoodEpox patch. I have not tried the added pigment method (yet).

8 years ago, I repaired my Airstream travel trailer’s plywood floor. It had a hole rotted completely through and also an area around the wall perimeter at the rear corner. The perimeter of the wood subfloor was soft, with splintering and delaminated plywood layers. I decided to try the Abatron Wood Restoration Kit, the quarts size.
First I dried the floor, following the instructions. Then I drill holes through the upper layers of the delaminate plywood, about 2″ to 3″ apart, so that the epoxy liquid could penetrate easily. Next I used the 2 part putty compound, reinforced with layers of fiberglass cloth, to fill in the 2″ x 8″ hole. Next, after mixing the 2 part epoxy liquid, I used a small tipped bottle to inject it into each drill hole. I went back to each hole multiple times, until no additional liquid would absorb. The whole surface of the soft area was completely wetted with the absorbed epoxy. The next day I had a solid floor!
I have tow the trailer many thousands of miles since then, all over the USA from the Florida Keys to the north woods of Maine, from the Atlantic ocean to Yellow Stone and Glacier NP.
The repair has held up under all the abuse I have given it. I am really happy that I made the repair this way.
It saved me at least a thousand $, compared to replacing plywood.

I had my doubts that Abatrons Liquidwood and WoodEpox would work. I have two 4×6 posts on my screen porch with some rot. Using a dremel tool, I took out all the rotted wood. In addition, scraped off some of the paint. Not knowing how much LiquidWood to mix. I mixed 4oz of part A and B then applied. It was way more than I needed. Then waited for it to get tacky. Then I put on the gloves and mixed equal parts of the WoodEpox. Still having my Doubts that this lightweight stuff is going to work, I fill in the area with about the size of a softball with WoodEpox. I waited until the next morning it was dry and solid. So I sanded it and gave it a few coats of paint. I have to say Abatrons Liquidwood and WoodEpox is Amazing and easy to work with and it fixed my issue. Wow, this stuff is great.
