    Excellent video. Thank you! I removed a dead bolt lock from an apartment steel door and did the same repair you did, and it came out great! The Bondo product is available at auto parts stores or at big box stores. I would wear protective gloves when using/applying the product to protect your hands. Thanks again!

    Thank you for taking the time to film and share this! I have a pocket door in our master bathroom and the handle broke and fell out of the door. So the three sides of the door where the handle sat is completely gone. It has been broken for 5 years. Been asking my husband to fix it but he keeps putting me off. Now I know how to fix it and can do it myself. Thanks!

    Thanks for the video. Isn't fiberglass toxic to sand? Need a respirator? Will standard mud with a mesh cover work like you patch sheet rock? I'm guessing not as well b/c it's wood... I've never worked with bondo before, hate stuff you have to mix because I'm never confident in the ratios.

    Why is the last pic shown of the door "after repainting the whole door" a completely different door? The trim on the left of the door had a run in the paint that wasnt there on the final door shown after the second coat.
    You can texture it properly, but using a sharp knife will stand out. Use a bamboo kabob stick to chase the grain. Something that wont cut, but will gouge.
