Swollen Particle Board Repair Veneer faced.

- Here I show how I went about repairing a teak veneered particle board cabinet door out of a Mid Century Modern credenza. I've done a few of these and it's always the same process - relieve some of the swollen bulk so that the piece can be squeezed with clamps back to the original size.
Nice job. Great result. As usual, nothing is as simple as one who doesn't have to do it would assume. Having done similar repairs, I was worried that the tape might pull some veneer when removed. A pro tip on that, which you did because you knew to do it, is to pull the tape back over itself rather than just straight up.
Great video. Thinking a glue syringe would work well for this application.
They do when gravity is working against you. One has to be very careful with little bits in the blue though. Thanks for watching.
Great content, I highly appreciate these videos. I find your methods interesting and clever. You've gained a new Subscriber here
Thanks and welcome.
Would using a wood hardener and/or sanding sealer followed by minwax wood filler or an epoxy based wood putty like PC wood putty work better? (If you don't care whether it retains the particle board look or will paint over it? )
The objective was to preserve the existing finish so a repair would not be obvious, but your method would wit keeping that in mind. Thanks for the comment.
thank you very much.
My pleasurer.
I wonder how an oscillating tool would do on that?
Fine but I did need to remove some of the swollen wood to get complete compression. A thicker blade or double stacked? Didn't think of that but you did. Thanks for watching.
Using the teeth of a comb seemed like an unnecessary added step. Why not just seal the tape along the edge with a finger?
Lots of little fingers get in the corner better. Folks have been doing this when masking cars for painting for decades, me included. It's a habit. However, the corner of a putty knife works well too. but there is a risk of tearing the tape.
Why wouldn't you change instead of repairing?
That repair cost little compared to making and matching a new door. There wasn't even any finishing required which would have been dicey at best unless you take the time to understand EVERYTHING about the original piece and its manufacturer. Likely would have had to refinish the entire front and that takes away value. Lots of value. I do this wholesale for dealers, I don't take in retail work. Dealers are particular if you want a 2nd reason.
You need another pair of hands!
More clamps, LOL.
