Actually, that’s the furniture before it was damaged. The made the second half of the video, smashed the corner, and then made the first half of the video.
And somehow making just one corner being freshly clear coated look normal. Have a feeling the white color is hiding a lot of details from showing in the video.
Don’t forget to tell everyone that when you razor it you have to do it at the right time before it’s hard. And don’t forget to tell everyone about the second application you made cuz the point got razored off so you did a jump cut. And this only applies to painted surfaces, not stained
Yeah it called bondo. Usually used as an auto body filler but preforms quite well on wood and plastic. Should harden to the shapable point within 10 minutes
Yeah monitor the excess blue wood filler after application, there is à magic moment where you can shave the high spots so you aren't having to sand and breathe that blue wood filler.
@@martinjaramillo2429 I agree with you 100% martin! What I do is I keep stirring up the little piece of cardboard that I mix it on so when it gets to the right phase, then I know the work is at the right phase and I can get out it with a razor
That looks like two-part bondo filler. There's a "plastic" stage where you can easily shave it down. If you wait till it fully hardens you'll have your work cut out for you.
@@guystephens2881 They make an open rasp that I like to call a cheese grater. There's a point where the bondo is a soft plastic consistency. Use said rasp or similar tools to quickly shape. They you can finish up after it fully hardens. But yes, once cured it's a bitch to sand. I haven't done it in a while but I used to use oil based kilz to prime, then paint. I do feel bad for the next guy who's excited to sand it all down to show off the original woodwork...
I have a tip to get real square edges when sanding when I built furniture! Because If you sand by hand OR with a sanding block, straight edges will get rounded. -Find a 90degree angle, i used a plastic saw guide from Home Depot. -Cut a pice of sandpaper and fixate it with sticky tape on one of the inner faces. -You can now use the 90degree angle tucked against the tabletop to sand the edge with perfect outcome!
I worked for a place called 'Conn's'. I was a delivery driver helper. Every morning before we left the dock... We would have to take all the furniture out of the boxes and check for damages and fix them on the spot.
I use those fill sticks to touch up cabinetry, but never thought to use it on a surface prior to finishing. Wouldn’t paint or stain not adhere to the wax?
@@jcarry5214that’s what I was thinking it’s a nice touch definitely but I feel like it’d make paint not stick as better to the surface but if it works it works and is a nice touch to the job
Mostly through experience.. But there is this company called Mohawk that makes most of the colors that match Ashley furniture pieces. They’ll send you a color catalog if you contact them.
Dude wow that looked great thank you for that tip I have a couple pieces that ima try that on it won't work with stained furniture any tips for those pieces
Exactly what I did. Moved into my new place. Saw this beautiful carved framed mirror at a Home Goods. Huge. Too expensive, though. 2 months later went back to look for more items I needed. There it was, had a cracked corner , small section broken of. For $15!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Was $220 before. Took it home got supplies, easier than I thought, when finished, couldn’t tell it had been damaged. Very happy.
Nice work. A little-known fact, In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire, The A-Team.
With the pricing of decent whole wood furniture a lot of people cant afford that unless they thrift and then you hardly ever find the style you really want. You can basically choose between particle board in the style you want or whole wood, but your house looks like an old timey grandmother lives there.
Wow, this is literally what I do for work and it’s cool to see even the same product I use😂 I haven’t ran into someone else doing these cosmetic repairs.
Would've never thought to fill wood with wood filler.....like I never knew it was strait up called "wood filler". I've always called it wood putty or something like that. Very nice!
Its from a company called "mohawk". I fix furniture for a living and its easy for me to get because the all the furniture company I've ever worked for have an account with them but for the general public it think is way harder to get them. They have similar products at home depot.
Really appreciate this post! A rescue pup has gobbled corners off of many things. Dressers, baseboards, flooring, etc. I have what I thought I would need to repair but after watching this, I need to go back to the store. Thanks for the knowledge
First thing you do is have a friend help you throw that particle wood piece of crap into your dumpster. Next go to a used furniture store and pick out a solid wood vintage piece and take it home to refinish. Now you have a piece of furniture you can enjoy for years instead of a few weeks.
Looks good, but first time you go over it, its gonna break. Sloppy sloppy sloppy. We have a saying in my country, pay peanuts, get monkeys. I used to work in an auction house and this would be considered fraud.
What about the overspray dust all over the top, doesn’t look masked off unless you refinished the entire top off camera? I’m assuming it came out very rough. Good work on the patching but you could just skip the ca glue.
If you listen, he speaks of “we, and what we do”, as in, multiple personalities, in the ‘family’, work on these pieces. Then, the price goes up, to feed the mouths, that do the work..? Prove to me that anyone else is involved, in this illusion..🤔
that's particle board crap, avoid this kind of sketchy furniture in the first place, you don't always know how much formaldehyde or other glue toxins it's releasing over the months and years you have it.
Your wood filler looks WAY different than mine. Actually... Your wood filler looks exactly like my auto body filler but aside from that, well done sir.
As someone who used to work at a furniture store, the amount of effort this man puts into repairing cheap furniture is commendable! Well done sir 🤙🏼
It was still wrapped in plastic so apparently it seems it was damaged during moving and needs repaired
Do you really believe that just happened for no reason? You have a Democrat colter, Wake up fool.
I was thinking the same thing!

With foam 😂

He just saved someone 150$ bucks
mane he probably charged $150 bucks
That particle board dresser cost $79 brand new.
And when you see the foam, you’re in the zone
You cut out the part of the video where you added a second coat of filler to fix the corner you cut off. Haha
What? You mean he made a mistake and fixed it? Haha wow what a dummy you really got him.
Haha I caught that too😂. Also skipped the part where he removed all the over spray before clear coat..... I hope😬
Actually, that’s the furniture before it was damaged.
The made the second half of the video, smashed the corner, and then made the first half of the video.
I came here for this comment
He used magic...
Putting glue in there to harden the core, that's brilliant. Thanks for that.
Yea I haven’t seen that! Definitely could’ve saved my butt a few times
@@maruscaman I'll ask , what happened when u just filled it , though I think I know 🤔
Same thought i had. And its so obvious 😂
It also makes it more brittle to break away from the rest of the softer material.
The hardest part of fixing furniture like this is matching the colors
And somehow making just one corner being freshly clear coated look normal. Have a feeling the white color is hiding a lot of details from showing in the video.
Honestly even if the colors dont match perfectly its hard to tell unless you already knew where they already were
The way furniture is painted these days it's not hard to make it look look when the original paint job was bad
@@gemmrklol really 😂😂😂 and definitely not made of anything any more
No ramen noodles?
same thoughts
Good one

Nice edit when you knocked the corner off again first time and had to do it over😊
Wondering who else noticed. 😂
Where? What time. I didn't notice it. I do wonder how the paint can stick after using a crayon. Isn't that greasy?
@@js00003550:25 you can see the top corner is shaved off while he’s sanding, he clearly went back with a second layer of wood filler to fix it.
@@AidenWarrior now I see it. Thanks
🍅🍅
Aye Man U forgot the ramen noodles
Nice
Do you use fatty crayon? Doesn't that make the paint not stick?
I never had a issue like that as long you are just filling finish nail holes .
Fill stick or white crayon? How does paint stick to crayon? It's wax.
You missed the part where you breakdown the particleboard 'furniture' and throw it in the trash.
There is a place particle board can be used. Inside partitions within that cabinet. The rest solid wood-period...........
lmao!
That looks like two-part bondo filler. There's a "plastic" stage where you can easily shave it down. If you wait till it fully hardens you'll have your work cut out for you.
that blue hardener is a bitch to cover . use 100 grit on 1st pass . put 2nd coat of filler 220 is fine for final if painting

Tip: if you use that much wood filler to where u have to scrape with razor, do not let it completely dry.
That is very true .
No noodless?
Awesome, after 100 dollars labor, a 20 dollar cabinet is now a 30 dollar cabinet!
have you been in a furniture store, ever? that pos probably had a $1000 on it. after the corner got banged that went down to $300.
This was my life every day at Bob's Discount Furniture... It's awesome and dreadful to watch, just thinking about how many needed to be done in 8hrs

Yeah show when you mess up, you filled twice. Don’t be skipping that, it is part of the process. End result is good 👍
the second tie is the exact same process as the first
It’s a UA-cam short so he’s got a 60 second time limit he has to work in.
How do you match up colors. Do the manufacturers put color codes on the box or something
Mostly through experience.. But there is this company called Mohawk that makes most of the colors that match Ashley furniture pieces. They’ll send you a color catalog if you contact them.
@@Furniturerepairschool thank you very much!
In my experience, thats white.
@@chrisasher8222there are easily like a million shades of white
@@Agrillot6 I think that was the point of Chris Asher, that you cant go just by "experience." 😂
He used two part bondo, not wood filler.
Bondo makes Wood Filler
Dude wow that looked great thank you for that tip I have a couple pieces that ima try that on it won't work with stained furniture any tips for those pieces
Paint it lmao
Cheap IKEA particle board furniture.
I call it notwood.
That’s not wood, it’s particle board.
What’s particle board made of then?
It’s superglue reinforced particle board.
Theres a major difference between partical board material vs wood material
Particle board is the poor mans wood
actually its mdf board, mostly dust and glue

Ngl I wouldn’t even paint it lol 😂giving it character -
There is an old saying... "A great cabinetmaker is not known on how well he can build it the first time, but on how well he can fix his mistakes"
So I just need $20 in materials to save a $30 piece of furniture huh 🤔
U can also use bondo body filler or carbin fiber bondo
Using auto body filler
Can you fix a crushed soul? 😂 ❤ I'm joking... you did great! ❤❤❤❤❤ from Texas
Don’t forget the bev
Neva! Neva!

That table would have stayed broken or went in the burn pit 🤙🔥
Luckily, he specified the colour of the paint to use.
I think it was white
@@Bender1 you know how many shade of white there are?
@@ivanmartinez632 at least 1 maybe more
Actually, HUNDREDS.
just use ramen next time i’ve seen it work a million times over
Then you sell this previously damaged piece of junk to an unsuspecting customer.
Fantastic advice. I followed to the letter, saved my table, that is until I sprayed one corner of my black laminate table, white.
I noticed a serious lack of uncooked ramen noodles in this repair. Are we certain that this is the right way to do it?
Super glue and baking soda is quicker and stronger just saying it hardens instantly and is ready to sand
So you sound a "how to fix a mess up while moving someone else's furniture" 😅
Keep them coming.
Good work. Don’t buy anything made of particle board so this won’t happen in the first place.
With the pricing of decent whole wood furniture a lot of people cant afford that unless they thrift and then you hardly ever find the style you really want. You can basically choose between particle board in the style you want or whole wood, but your house looks like an old timey grandmother lives there.
That doesn't look like any wood filler I've ever seen looks more like Bondo
Thank You For Sharing This ☺️👍🏼
You for got to sand the hole top..cause it got over sprayed...and after you got to spray the hole top with lacquer...
I used to do wood work...we use to use mohawk products.....all the times...
I have Zero experience m, but I’m here for the comment section lol
But did ou tell the owner??? Lol
I would've just sanded off the other three corners.
Or just crush the other 3 corners and paint so they all match
I’d make an L shaped cardboard painting screen personally. Just saying.
Everyone knows you're supposed to use ramen noodles!
And now let me put it back on the floor and double the price
“And then we’ll charge it for full price”
I didn't think paint would stick to the wax in the crayon
I know this this the sneaker guy lol
You are a master. My hat off to you.
Nice🎉🎉🎉
Can you explain when to use wood filler or wood putty?
Car body filler works great too. Bondo.
There is no wood in this furniture.
Cool to watch before and after.
wood filler you're supposed to use ramen
Not wood filler its bondo...
NO instant ramen? I am beghasted.
I though he was going to use some noodles
Thanks for exposing yourself and other companies for selling consumers damaged products that’s been repaired.
What if it's natural wood finish?
Wow, this is literally what I do for work and it’s cool to see even the same product I use😂 I haven’t ran into someone else doing these cosmetic repairs.
Would've never thought to fill wood with wood filler.....like I never knew it was strait up called "wood filler". I've always called it wood putty or something like that. Very nice!
Bondo works better
U didn’t use noodles, I don’t like it 😒👎🏼
You just saved yourself 150 bucks
Another option. Just ignore it 😢
So this what happens to returns 🤔
How well does paint stick to crayon?
Not well.
Great stuff, but quick question what's the fill stock made from? If you were to use a crayon that would be a good bond for paint?
Its from a company called "mohawk". I fix furniture for a living and its easy for me to get because the all the furniture company I've ever worked for have an account with them but for the general public it think is way harder to get them. They have similar products at home depot.
i guess if u got color matched paint...
and now we re-paint the entire piece of furniture because that one spot is not going to match if we don't
Nah you gotta repaint that whole top my man you crazy
Where's the Ramen noodles
Where the Ramen noodles?

Can you imagine Furniture Companies Sale you Minor Broken Furniture like that for 70%
You fix it, Sale it ... WHAT A PROFIT 😁
Are you using clear super glue?
Thin glue by Mohawk. It’s thin like water so it seeps through the particleboard.
as someone whose dinged a majority of their ikea furniture... this is a game changer
The surface is going to feel and look like dog sh*t with that much overspray.
Looks good, but first time you go over it, its gonna break.
Sloppy sloppy sloppy.
We have a saying in my country, pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Finally a solution to this perplexing, vexing, problem. Next: How to drink a glass of water with only 4 fingers and a half a thumb.
Try Bondo, which is a better and tougher filler. I've used wood filler, but after stumbling across bondo, I've not gone back.
Wait a minute...you're telling me you take some wood filler and fill it with the wood filler?!
