So I’m new to this forum and I’d like to say hello. I’m here to ask for any opinions on my mission to revive this Beautiful tiki. Unfortunately it’s been outside for a long time in New Jersey and the top is starting to rot. I pressure washed it and took all the rot I could out so far. It is now in the garage laying down for a long winter of drying out and debugging. After it has dried out I will take any loose rot out then treat it, then fill it in with something?? I thought about filling it in with a bunch of wood pieces real tight and then pouring a gallon or two of wood glue in to fill in all the gap’s. Yes that rot goes about a foot deep. Or making a giant wood plug with a doner log. After that I’d like to put a copper or led cap on it to keep and future weather out. This will eventually sit out by my pool for the summer and then be taking inside the rest of the year. If you have any suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it.
