The door you repaired has a texture. Can you tell that the texture is missing when it is painted since you had to sand it? I have a door that I am planning to repair and I am hoping the repair won't be obvious with the texture difference.
Leslie, this door patch is below eye level and on the inside of a kids closet door. The only person that knows its there is me and the crickets. If the patch is in a more obvious high traffic area you may want to watch my next video where I imitate the wood grain.
Great video! Girlfriends chihuahua tripped me sending my knee through the door *facepalm* will be trying this technique in order to better my chances of getting my deposit back. Thanks for the help
If the spine/wood frame is cracked, replace the door. Otherwise you can try it but it will leave a visible scar especially if it has a simulated wood grain texture. Watch this video to add texture ua-cam.com/video/lVa08pK0mT4/v-deo.html
Danny, if all you have to work with is wood glue, then give it a try. There may still be a ridge that stands out and if you do not have bondo, try spackle or drywall compound. Drywall compound is the easiest to sand and for minor cracks will hold up for a while
Keith, great question. I don't recommend it because it is too brittle and will crack easily. Joint compound and spackle is best if used over a solid surface
Why do you have music in the back ground? I want to watch what you are doing, and hear what you are saying, not listen to a music video. Good job otherwise.

Glad you liked it. Here is a door repair of a larger hole repair ua-cam.com/video/lVa08pK0mT4/v-deo.html
Hey Douglas, loved your video. I was wondering in place of the expoxy could I use wood glue? Thanks.
Yes you can! However it will take longer to set up
@@douglashill7059 Awesome, thank you!
Hey Douglas, I have a hollow core door with cracking/ peeling reaching the wood for a large section. Should i just use 150 grit, primer and repaint?

can i use wood glue as a stand in for epoxy? and if i use wood glue would i even need the bondo or can i just paint over it?

May I know what paint you use? It's the same color as my door, actually that door is exactly the same as mine, lol!
You know what, I think it is an off white, I left it at a home in Fredericksburg if you want it.
@@douglashill7059 Wow, I appreciate your reply and gesture. I lived In Hawai'i... It's so far, ahaha! but I will remember the color type you mention!
Can you use spackle or joint compound or does it need to be Bondo?
Keith, great question. I don't recommend it because it is too brittle and will crack easily. Joint compound and spackle is best if used over a solid surface
Do you remember what kind of hardener you used? Thanks
Hi Tatiana, the hardener comes with the can of bondo
What is that hand tool you are using?
a couple of tools include a one inch putty knife and the irregular shaped hand tool is a 5 way knife found at paint stores
@@douglashill7059 awesome the five way knife is the one I wanted the name. Thanks for replying!
THANK YOU
Thanks for watching!

Hi! I got a couple questions, can you tell me what grain and type of sandpaper you used? Both for the paper and the block? Thank you!
Hey Random Guy, I used 80 grit sand paper and sanding block to knock down the epoxy and the Bondo. Thanks for watching
