I used Abatron on a restoration of a Greene and Greene home on almost all the south side windows and sills about 8 years ago. Its still standing and the damn stuff stayed put and showed no signs of hairline spits where the epoxy meets real wood. I could have made the windows for him in my shop, nooooo, he wanted the original. The same painter (he and his wife) did all the work. It took over a month.
I used their structural epoxy for some repairs at my parent's 1929 Spanish about 10 years ago. We didn't want to screw up the interior, so the structural member stayed. Its holding up fine today.
Abatron isn't cheap, well not as cheap as Bondo that's for sure.
