PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What This Product Does
WRP Cobra Rods provide long-lasting internal wood protection by slowly releasing boron and copper preservatives throughout the surrounding wood. Installed into pre-drilled holes, the rods help protect vulnerable areas from fungal decay, wood rot, and wood-destroying organisms.
As moisture naturally moves through the wood, the active ingredients diffuse from the rod into the surrounding wood fibers. Cobra Rods are an excellent choice for large repairs, structural members, and moisture-prone areas where long-term wood preservation is essential.

Professional Wood Surface Preparation
WRP Bio-Cleaner is a professional-grade wood surface cleaner designed to prepare damaged, weathered, and exposed wood before restoration. It helps remove dirt, dust, loose wood fibers, mold, mildew, algae, and other surface contaminants that can interfere with wood treatment and repair.
As the first step in the WRP Wood Restoration System, Bio-Cleaner prepares bare wood for treatment with WRP Board Defense and the remaining repair products, helping create the clean surface needed for stronger, longer-lasting structural repairs.
Where Bio-Cleaner Fits in the WRP System
WRP Bio-Cleaner is the first step in the WRP Wood Restoration System. After loose and deteriorated wood has been removed, clean the exposed wood surface before applying WRP Board Defense to help protect bare wood.
Once the wood has been cleaned and protected, continue with WRP Liquid Wood Consolidant to strengthen weakened wood fibers before rebuilding damaged areas with WRP Epoxy Dough.
