Soft or Rotten Wood Soft, spongy, brittle, or crumbling wood. Missing Wood Material is gone from decay, impact, or weathering. Cracks or Splits Visible checking or splits with most wood intact. Weathered Surface Worn fibers or shallow surface deterioration. Signs of Insects Holes, galleries, channels, or insect-related loss. More Than One Condition Several types of damage affect the same repair. Widespread Deterioration Damage extends across much of the component or property. Not Sure You cannot confidently identify the condition.
Choose the condition that best matches the wood.

About How Much Total Repair Area Do You Have?
Consider the combined area of all repair locations. Coverage is approximate. Repair depth and wood condition affect material use.
Up to about 0.75 sq ft Published Starter coverage Up to about 4 sq ft Published Medium coverage Up to about 8 sq ft Published Large coverage Up to about 16 sq ft Published XL coverage Up to about 32 sq ft Published XXL coverage Up to about 80 sq ft Published XXXL coverage More than about 80 sq ft Beyond the largest published single-kit range I’m Not Sure WRP can review photos and measurements.
Choose the closest total repair-area range.
These are published planning figures, not guaranteed yields. Deeper or irregular cavities can require more material.

How Deep or Irregular Is the Damage?
Use the closest description. This answer qualifies the recommendation; it is not used for a volume calculation.
Mostly Shallow / Localized The damaged area is relatively even and limited. Deeper Cavity / Missing Material A substantial amount of wood must be rebuilt. Depth Varies The cavity is irregular or changes significantly. I’m Not Sure WRP can review the damaged area with you.
Choose the closest depth description.
