This is a furniture saver! My husband and I bought a piece we hoped to refinish, but a piece exactly like the one you just fixed was on it. I can fix it now!!

[@RememberToLove]

Hi Natalie, you did such a great job on this project, way to go! I love seeing more women with power tools, being creative & restoring that which would otherwise be considered "of no worth." I love to "restore" & be creative as well, making things "like new again." Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Sending blessings & kindness from Hawaii, jAckie =)

[@ARayofSunlight]

Thank you so much Jackie!

[@SDsailor7]

@@ARayofSunlight What if you want to stain the repair? will it work on bondo? I want to stain it to match the existing color and then use clear poliurethatne.
Good video very interesting and informative.

awesome thank you very much for the content

[@metratone5]

Nice video.

[@terryevans297]

FYI - Extra Hardener is also available at the pats store where you bought the Bondo. I always buy additional hardener because I tend to put too much in the white bondo before mixing. And yes, it gets really hard and is more difficult to sand. Thanks for the repair demonstration.

[@ARayofSunlight]

Great tip! I like to buy extra hardener as well for the same reason!

[@buttercup1765]

Genius!!

[@ghanemsalem240]

Thank you

[@desertliving]

wow. definitely impressive

[@ARayofSunlight]

Thanks!

[@nursetammy74]

Thank you! We bought an old home with narrow door ways, my husband's chest of drawers became stuck. The only thing to do was saw the dresser in half. In that process, the furniture lost a chunk of its corner. I will do this method to fix it. Thank you so much!
