This is how every repair tutorial on KZfaq should be. Quick, to the point, no fluff, obviously from an experienced person, covers everything you need.

Why did I watch this? 1. I just got new baseboards. 2. There are some imperfections to fix. 3. This is a 4-minute video. 4. Super clear and concise video. 5. No unnecessary chatter. 6. Practical help. Thanks!!

Bondo tip from car guys. Don't stir the Bondo, fold it. Stirring introduces air causing pin holes. Not that big of a deal but it can save a few steps.

Seems to me being organized helps. And taking the time to do proper prep work. The coat of paint can work miracles but you have to do the prep that doesn't show so that paint looks flawless. Like installing a zipper when constructing a garment. Take the time to smoothly baste the dreaded zipper exactly where it needs to be before going to the sewing machine. I do not like hand sewing *at all* but I learned that my results were much more professional and I rarely had to tear out stitches and start over. So I hand baste my zippers before topstitching. I don't dread sewing in zippers anymore, either.

I have used regular bondo to repair wood. If you compare the safety data sheets between regular bondo and the wood filler version, they are essentially the same. They both have styrene monomer (which is polymerized to polystyrene plastic with the peroxide hardener) and talc. A bit of titanium dioxide is added for whiteness. So you can save money and just buy regular bondo. It will work. Great video. Really enjoy your channel.

Bondo's automotive filler works just as well and is available everywhere. Comes with flexible spreader that cured filler peels right off of. I've even used it on exterior siding that had a pressed woodgrain texture. Before fully cured, drag the corner of the spreader or putty knife through it to replicate the grain pattern in the surrounding area. When cured, knock the peaks off and clean up the depressed grain pattern with a sanding block and you can't tell it was ever there.

We used the auto Bondo in professional furniture repair. I saw an armoire that had a crushed side and leg…forklift booboo. Once the repair technician was done you couldn’t tell at all that it was repaired. I really looked at it for imperfections. Dark stained matched and everything. From then on I knew to inspect the interior of furniture. 😂

i just used bondo wood filler a couple days ago for the first time and LOVED it. It;s so easy to sand and so smooth and takes paint great. You used WAAAAAAAAY too much hardener. That's why it hardened almost instantly. It shouldn't be blue when you mix it up, but more of a very pale green. Keep up the good work!

Bondo is good stuff. Solvent-based plastic wood in general is all I've had success with, especially on exterior repairs. Non-solvent filler is just crap across the board; it cracks, it shrinks, it doesn't adhere very well, etc.

@michaelhartman851 3 ай бұрын

Often when I come into these repairs on fiber board I usually use something flexible to fix it like fast drying caulk, my method is to use a good knife wider than the repairs and add the caulking heavy over the area, use the knife to shape the material to the contour and it may take multiple coats to fill deep gouges, but the advantage to using caulking is if someone hits it again it won't just fall back out it has some give and flexibility.

Try using the Quicksteel wood epoxy, it comes in a pinchable amount that you can roll up and mix, also use a bit of water on the putty blade to get a smother application.

We have a filler here in the UK called Tetrion filler. It’s a 2 part filler that dries between 10 to 20 mins depending on temperature and how deep the filler needs to be. comes in 4 tones but white is the best one as it takes all sorts of paint extremely well and sands back great too. Nice video. 👍🏻 If I had done that repair, guaranteed to have pulled a bit of the wall paint off removing the masking tape, no matter how delicate a tape I used. 😂🤣

I've found that once it is no longer tacky but still slightly soft, you can take a very sharp chisel and do 95% of the shaping by slicing off the excess a bit at a time. Then once its hard, a little finishing sanding and its done.
