Was just telling my kids at dinner... There are DIY UA-cam videos out there where can you see they have a team of people behind them, they are all very polished and "perfect"... and yet somehow also totally soulless. Your videos are true blue, and you got my subscription.
Hey Bill. I've learned so much from your channel. You have a knack for explaining things in a way that's easy to understand, even for a novice like me 👏🏻👏🏻
Wow!!! This hack has got me so excited that I'm seriously contemplating whether or not I should kick a few holes in my doors just so I can try it out 🤔. Haha, you're the best Bill!!! 👍
@@billshowto it’s only a small hole Bill. The door is worth saving. I do have a repair kit so hopefully it will be ok. It’s on the inside of the room, so not to bad. Thank you anyways 👍
David Copperfield couldn’t have done a better job hiding that hole! Nice work Bill! When you have an opportunity, I’d love to see some tips on patching painted interior render walls. I’m not having much luck hiding screw holes, the texture defeats me. P.s. Thanks for all your videos, you’d be amazed at how many have helped me with my DIY work. And it’s also great that you are in Sydney and the products you use are recognisable as available at Bunnings etc. Cheers!
Lol thanks. Regarding cement rendered walls, filling the hole is easy but have a smooth finish and transition is very difficult . I am yet to find a way that’s gets perfect results every time. More experimenting needed
Ive got a old qld house & previous owner put filler in a heap of tongue & groove & around window ledges - i was thinking he used car bog or dried chewing gum as its been an absolute horrendous job trying to sand it all off & also tried chiselling it off & out of grooves but stopped that quick when i was cutting into the wood. I think the guy possibly used cornice cement & ive no idea how to smooth the T&G to repaint the walls. He ALSO was into using sticky tape. Just blew me away someone could be so daft! Is there any magic potion that dissolves that cornice cement besides endless sanding & busting this ol ladys gut & driving me totally bonkers? PS first saw ur video on how to remove cistern after buying toilet cistern blue & had me stumped how to take cistern off until i saw your video! Great channel Bill Many thanks mate. 😊
I totally agree in principle, but for the average DIYer it might be easier to patch a door. Why? Hard to transport the door in a passenger vehicle. I don’t have a Ute. The old door will need to be disposed of. I only have a small wheelie bin, council cleanup won’t take doors. No worksite skip. I might not own the tools or have the skills to do a neat job of cutting notches for hinges and holes for handles. (But a great excuse to buy new tools and follow Bill’s tutorial on that. Haha) So a pot of ready mixed cornice cement and a joint knife from Bunnings may be the easier option for many.

Lol, my soul , morals and values are not for sale👍. Glad I can help

You’re very welcome 👍👍👍
Cornice cement is fantastic as a filler for so many things
👍
Amazing finished result. Great work as usual Bill
Bill… amazing job mate thanks for sharing 🙌🏽🙌🏽
👍👍👍
Amazing, looks like a brand new door. Awesome job 👏👍👌
👍

Lol👍
Bill's the BEST, I LIKE. I've learnt heaps from his videos.
👍👍👍
Great video BILL that’s the best idea I’ve seen so far to fix a large hole on the door with Cornice Cement 👍👍👍
I have to patch a panelled door, will have to become an artist to create the grain. this is a great video thanks Bill.
Check out my videos on how to replace a door. It may be worth replacing the door👍

Never disappointed in your video's, always well explained and alwayd an awesome professional job. 👏
Thank you👍👍👍
Exceptional job Bill. As always you deliver the results. 👍
👍👍👍
30 seconds in, I thought it would be easier to replace the door. Great minds think alike bill!!! Well done. Great video to watch regardless ❤
Lol, some people insist on repairing the door rather than replacing. 👍👍👍
Top Job - thanks for the demo
Here in the US, Hydrocal works perfect for hollow core door repair. 5 minute mud will work in a pinch as well...
Hi mate, give builders bog a go (I used builders filler for different jobs around the house and am very happy with the results.)
Awesome work
No need for the squiggles Bill. We trust you. That's why we are here 😊
Lol, just in case 👍👍👍
Mr Squiggle draws Nd Bla kboard say _"Hurry up."_ 😁
A door able fix Bill. 🤦♂️
Another top vid mate… good job!
Cheers Bill 👍🏻
It will be very easy to see the patch in different light. I normally cut out a square, at at least the patch look regular shape.
Hi Bill, great job. Well done 👍
What roller did you use to paint the door?
Great tip once again Bill
Is the cornice cement trick also suitable for outdoor repairs? Or will it breakdown in the wet?
It will definitely break down. Outdoor works you will need a filler that is weather resistant. Most of the time a solvent based one is best

Thanks

Many thanks mate.
😊
You’re very welcome. By the sounds of it you may have some sort of solvent based filler. Cutting and scraping it off may be the safest option
😂😂 at whoever repaired this before you with sellotape. Next you’ll be finding it used on wall joints 😂
👍
👍👍
Just seen your channel and love the content. Beautiful face to look at too ❤
👍🏽👍🏽
I'm just messing with you but
When you said I'm inpatient just go and play some gta 5 and sell some of your Mc stuff and it should be dry by then 😅
Just buy a new one like $80
Lol 👍
