Let me know your favorite wood filler, I need to upgrade!
I love Durham water putty 👍
I gotta check that out, never heard of it!
@@blacksheephouse it dries really hard ALMOST like bondo lol but with out the smell and it’s a powder and you add water to the consistency you desire 👍
Hi! I use Woodwise Wood Patch: water-based, takes stain about like hardwood, sands easily & doesn't clog, easy to use & clean up, and {drum roll} it's available in colors to match or contrast your project. I used a weathered gray stain on a project with lots of plank seams that I filled with Woodwise in ebony first ~ stunning results!
I use bondo !!
I keep seeing pieces of furniture out at the curb when I’m out and about. I’m more and more tempted to pick one up and try out flipping. It looks amazing what you did and I totally would buy that.
Do it!! You wont regret it👍
Do it! I have same pieces and for sure am going to start painting very soon!
Yesterday I saw a small dresser at my thrifty store 34 dlls+ tax.
It looked good and solid.
Do you think 🤔 is a good price for flipping?
@@mjquintana26 You'll at least be able to make your money back on it, and getting started is the most important thing. You may not make much, but getting started so you can practice is the only way to get going.
I did that and when I finished it my wife liked it so much, she kept it. Now my flipping business has lost 30 bucks 🤣😂🤣
Mohawk epoxy putty sticks are my suggestion for wood filler. It comes in a stick with the two parts already mixed. All you have to do is cut off a small amount, knead it together, and apply it to your furniture. It has a 10 minute working time and hardens within 20 minutes. I think it even comes in 20 different colors so you can fix furniture that you don't plan to paint.
This is the first time I have ever watched your videos, I love how real you are, I guess I am the black sheep as well, because I love using rollers for a smooth finish with no brush strokes.
Been using your technic for years👍. You’re absolutely spot on. Keep up the good work.
Graeme(painter 30yrs)👍👍
I love that you make the process simplified. I also prefer more simplify as I must finish some projects in a sit before revert and tidy up the space for it's original use!
Best method I've found for hole fills, edge repair and deep scratch repair is a mixture of sawdust and wood glue. From viscous to putty like, you make it as the application requires. I will sometimes dab some wood hardener onto it prior to sanding.
Love the pulls, fun transformation. Beautiful.
love the smooth finish. tons of fails for me using a roller. good thing I found your video
I have painted quite a bit of furniture for the royal palaces in London and we use pretty much the same technique with the same tools, we use a 2 part wood filler for holes similar to your bondo, only difference I can see is we finish with a light roll with a new dry sponge roller without paint, as this just flattens the paint finish a little more and only add a few seconds to the job. looks good
Wow that’s really cool you painted pieces in the royal palaces!!
True blue believer in Bondo for filling cracks and holes. Dries fast, doesn’t shrink and sands great.
Also… Georgia girl here! Hey, neighbor! ✌🏼
GA 🥳! Bindo seems to be a favorite in the comments, I’m going to try it!
Definitely bondo. It's a little finicky to learn to work with but it really works amazing!
Nice finish with roller technique. Interesting leather pulls. Perhaps your unhappy with the filler because you’re rushing and using your finger. Use a putty knife. Your finger is round and your putty is pushed too far in. You needed to to re-putty to get it level with the surface and sand again. Every filled hole is still very clearly seen even after you went to all the effort of painting and sealing. The prep is the most important to get right no matter what brand of filler you use. Best wishes.
Inspirational! Beautiful! Thank you soo much for sharing. Love from England.
Beautiful!! Absolutely brilliant!♥️♥️♥️
Awesome job! We’ll definitely have to try your technique with the roller 🙌
That looks beautiful love the handles. I have used Bondo power you mix with water. It last a long time & you can mix it to your desired consistency.
I'm working on an Armoire, so this rolling technique will be handy with the long side. I"ll give it a try, I put on the primer already and might do another coat because a lot of the dresser color is still looking through. After a sand, I'll do the roller technique with primer. Should straighten it out. That dresser looks great.
Thank you! This is exactly what I'd like to do with my cheap dresser. This looks great.
You should open each drawer slightly stair stepping , each one open a bit more then the other to paint so that way they won't stick when you open them !
J-B Weld wood epoxy is the best. Dries like a rock and easy to sand. It's in a tube. Cut what you need and mix it together with your fingers...beige outside and white in the middle..blend it until it's all one colour. Can form broken corners and fill cracks and holes 😁 dries fast
I’m gonna try that!
You'll love it!
Does it stain well? Thanks!
@@natalieramsey4091 I've only painted over it BUT it does state you can stain over it!
@@natalieramsey4091 www.bobvila.com/articles/best-stainable-wood-filler/ these are the top stainable...depends on what wood you use
That dresser turned out so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic video!! Learnt so much from you!! Keep on making more videos 👍👍
just did my first flip! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! That looks great! Well done.
Omg!!! Thank you, thank you, THANKY YOU!! I am dying over brush strokes lines! This is truly amazing to me! I had to comment before I even finished watching the video! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yay!! Glad you’re here 👏
I'm on a very limited budget and am able to use a military discount at Home Depot. Thanks for the review and video because I have a dresser in mind for this finish. Thanks
fascinating technique. i look forward to giving it a try!
An excellent finish, I need to try this to refinish a circa 1960s Leslie speaker. The colour is superb too.
Very interesting way to paint, makes for an incredible look. 😊
I like the name Black Sheep House. It's one of the things that drew me to your channel. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be the Black Sheep!😉
“ plastic wood” comes in a can. Amazing for durable reconstruction, like missing corners or edges etc. will work for the small stuff too but amazingly strong for the big issues.
Good to know!
QwickWood by JB Weld, find it at most home improvement stores, even Walmart. You can shape it like play dough and form little missing pieces even, it dries strong as wood
BONDO is good for filling holes. it is autobody product, easy to apply thin. dries fast. Must mix with hardener. Practice and dont use too much hardener. It SANDs perfectly.
Wow will definitely try this technique on my next piece!! Awesome job!!! Also for wood filler try bondo wood filler. You will love it!!
You can use a wood epoxy for filling imperfections. It’s very hard which is great for furniture, and similar to Bondo; however it’s wood-toned like normal wood filler and takes stain very well. That can be the downfall of Bondo, it’s great, but if you’re staining your finished product you’ll see it.
Also, there’s a product called Floetrol (Water Based) or Penetrol (Oil Based) depending on the type of paint you’re using. It’s a paint retarder (slows down the dry time/keeps the paint wet longer giving the paint longer time to level out and flow together before drying). It really helps you get a great finish, especially with glossy higher sheen paints. It’s just a few dollars from Lowes, and it really helps you get flawless finishes.For anyone out there that’s frustrated with their end product, sanding 220 grit between coats and using this product should help! (Aside from a paint sprayer and fine finish tips, lol).
Love the idea 3-1 which I will apply to my current project. Funny, I have this exact set. My fav wood filler is Bondo. It is the same stuff used in restoring cars. It is easily molded to any surface. I am an artist, I am patient, so it worked well for me.
Which Bondo? There are several - confusing!
That paint job came out great, looks factory (compliment).
Yeah the brush on then roll over technique is what I discovered two years ago when I bought my house and started redoing it. It works great. As for filling Holes try golf tees. They are tapered so they’ll fit a variety of all sizes, especially furniture. They can be pushed into a hole with a little bit a wood glue on them and once dry you can use a flat saw off like you would on a dowel and now you have real wood to fill in that hole and it’s easier than filler.
Toothpicks.
Hi Shannon. It turned out Beautiful 👍
I’m Definitely going to try the Roller ! I’ve got this big dresser to do In black and I’m going to give it a go 😜
Oh Yeh I ❤️ the Leather Hardware 👍
That is our exact dresser and we have the matching chest. Redoing our bedroom, now we know how to fix the furniture, thanks.
This turned out great.
Beautiful!!! 👍
I haven’t used it but I’ve heard really great things about KwikWood because it has the consistency of clay. I also use the same brand of wood filler and don’t really care for it. I’m definitely going to try it once I run out. Bondo is also good, especially for big holes or dents.
11:35 you can still see the holes you filed... I recommend using Rust-Oleum filler primer and sand to blend it out...
Thanks for the picture tips
Nice job! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve always been an outsider in my approach to life in general. Everyone has an opinion about it. And guess what, I don’t care. They do them. I do me. I’m happy to see a fellow black sheep keeping it real and doing an amazingly beautiful job! Kudos girl. PS. I love this color!!!! I’ve been debating on the bleach wood (literally for months) on my bedroom dresser and night stands. I actually think I’ll go this route instead and keep the light wood on the bed. Thanks girlie. Xoxo
Ahh, a fellow Black Sheep! Black and natural wood is my favorite combo right now, that’ll look great!
Fool.
I use dowels from Home Depot. That way the holes have strength. Do dipping no cracking. Plus, you can do hardware holes
Bondo does wonders, unless you are going with a natural wood look for that, sawdust in similar color plus wood glue mixed together is perfect.
It’s too funny just as I was thinking why doesn’t she remove the drawers, you answered the question, thx😊
I'm definitely trying this tomorrow! I have been unhappy with my last couple of brush-painted projects because it simply dried too fast for me to get an even coat, can't wait to see if this works for me! Thanks for the helpful video =)
Hi Shannon - Love this dresser! I think the excess leather is suppose to wrap over the top and the holes lined up before putting the screw in. You would be going through 3 layers of leather. I don't think they are all made that way, but maybe yours are? Thank your sharing your talent with us.
Oh I bet you’re right! Hahaha well I’m
Glad you told me bc I’m gonna be using a lot more of those pulls bc they are so cute and affordable ❤️ thanks girl!
Wood filler that works is J-B Weld KwikWood Wood Repair Epoxy Putty Stick. Love your videos. Thank you for information.
Thank you for sharing techniques. Although I live in Australia & paints are not available. Colour schemes & detailed content inspires us newbies.
The dark dresser turned out so beautiful.
Thanks so much!
I've used Bondo and JB weld wood filler. I like them both. Sands beautifully and doesn't shrink.
Thanks!
Looks awesome ! I work in a cabinet shop and we find automotive filler is the best. They sell a finish coat bondo it's not cheap, but sands very easy. Target finishes also makes excellent water based finishes that work well. Again great job 👍
Awesome!
Nice job!
I like to use epoxy putty to fill holes. It dries fast, can be sanded and painted, is very durable, and comes in a variety of colors so you can match it to wood and veneer if the finished product is not going to be painted.
Good to know!
Looks amazing! Can't wait to try this technique. I'm new to furniture refinishing and I think this is a great way to avoid brush strokes. Thanks so much for sharing!
Beautiful results
Love it!
You are awesome Shannon.
Awwww 🤗
Those blocks at the bottom preventing the last drawer to fully close, were for the transport of the piece from the warehouse to the consumer. Great job btw.
It’s very pretty!
I use car bondo for holes if I am going to paint. Gets harder and you can sand smoother. They make glaze coats as well for stubburn pin holes.
Wow 😍
Awesome love it
Looks great.
Omg this is the same dresser my son has and hates. But if it looked like yours refinished he would love it
I use the exact same paint brush and roller technique......love those gray rollers.... developed it over several projects.....Bondo is great..... another filler I used to rebuild missing wood is a two part jb weld putty that comes in two tubs....found it on Amazon when I was restoring a curbside potting bench with a leg that was rotted with severe insect damage....blech...actually had to drill holes into the to inject insecticide before I could bring myself to touch it even with gloves..blech blechety blech blech....it turned out beautiful...oh yeah I also use the wood filler you use in this video....my initial experience with it was it would crumble before I could fill the hole....I decided to add a little water and blended it to a consistency that allowed for a smooth finish using a putting knife or one of those flexible plastic spreaders....hope that helps
Oh wow, great information!! Thank you so much
I use bondo for hole filling or any kind of repair. Just be aware it does dry quick when you mix it so only mix what you need! Also I’ve heard a lot of good things about Dixie belle mudd!
Beautiful
Lovely.
Have you ever tried Stix primer? We use it for kitchen cabinets and then we use Benjamin Moore Aura flat, satin or semigloss. I would try a 3/8 inch fabric roller, no brushing first. Rolling is the key, it looks like you sprayed it when done. Sometimes when we use latex poly for some reason it can resist so we add a little dish detergent and that ends that problem, I also tend to thin it a little out of the can. Your dresser looks great!
I’ve heard great things about that primer! And I do like BM paints a lot, I plan to do a video w/BM soon!!
Absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤ ♥
Bonds spot fill . Comes in a tube no mixing. Great for small holes and blemishes
Ty💛
Hi dear, I use Bondo for filling holes and even building parts of furniture,missing corners and such, it hardens quick in metter of seconds so work with small quantity at once but hardens like cement and sands out very nicely,easy and smoothly.
Thank you ❤️
Wood bondo, it’s at Home Depot it’s a 2 part system you have to mix. I would say do it in smaller amounts because it dries pretty fast and gets super hard!
Oh my beautiful!!!
Looks great!
Thanks so much!
Hey, I do commercial finishing, famowood is a good wood filler, but can be tricky to find sometimes, but for painting projects I use bondo. Regular bondo works good, but you can also get special harder bondo which is good for finer details. I also seriously reccomend using primer when going over dark or smooth surfaces. It grabs way better than paint, and it gives you a solid base to work off of so you can use less paint
Good to know, I gotta Che k that one out
Hi Shannon, please make video on how do you wash your paint brushes and also your working space tour.
Ok, that’s a good idea! The two messiest areas 😉 I just use dish soap and water though and hang to dry with bristles pointing down ❤️
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Even though it's made for walls... I've used spackling on cabinet doors and such and let dry few days then lightly sand...and paint. It worked great! Not as hard to sand as that ruff wood filler either. I even filled in where long strips of veneer was missing. I just added a layer a day until it was even with the remaining veneer..and sanded and painted it and you couldn't tell at all. Of course for staining you can't use it because it's white. But for painting I highly recommend it.
I’m afraid any little knock will damage spakling. Much better to use a wood filler.
Joint compound/spakling is made for sheet rock and is water soluble (not resistant to moisture.) It’s also really soft!!
@@thechops2000 not talking about joint compound...but spackle.
Hole filling - Honestly, depending on the size...titebond 3 woodglue and very fine sawdust is great. It's cheap, dries hard, doesn't shrink and is easily sandable. If you need fine sawdust, just buy a small chunk of the MDF stuff and sand it with 100 grit sandpaper (Wear a dust mask! That stuff is noxious and is realllly easy to kick up into the air) and viola! lots of sawdust to use. If the hole is bigger and/or you have less time to wait, just go get some automotive bondo at any big box store. It dries hard, doesn't shrink and is easy to sand. It's "Open" time though is realllly short (depending on how much you use, anywear from 1 to 5 minutes is usually all you get). So, know where you're going to put it, wear gloves and get it in the hole as soon as possible. it's also good for replacing chip/dings if your going to paint over it.
I just used bondo to fix a big ding in my bathroom door that was caused by my 13 year old opening the door hard into a cabinet door I have opposite of the door. Filled the hole, carefully sanded it (150 and 300 grit), painted it, and now you can't see anything AND it's "harder" than the surrounding wood. Held up way better than the wood filler I'd used before...
Solid advice, thanks!!
@@blacksheephouse Sure thing. One other thing I see all the time is people purchasing wood conditioner from the big box stores. I know you're always looking for a way to eek more profit from a piece, so here's a good one: Don't buy that stuff. Use strongly brewed black tea. It's super cheap, stores for long time in sealed jars (some settling occurs, but just shake it up), and does a better job across most wood grains than the store bought stuff. The tannens (sp?) in the tea "soften" the wood better than the store bought stuff AND you can always make more. Only downside is that you have to lightly sand after using it as the water makes the wood grain "pop" some. But light sanding with 100-150 grit and blammo, super smooth wood that takes finish/paint like a champ! I've personally used it on fir, pine, oak, hickory and walnut. All worked fine with no problems.
Good luck!
use dowels for the hole filling, night and day. for the other repairs, i just like wall patch mixed with saw dust or u can use wood glue mixed with saw dust too.
I need to do that! Would save me so much💴 I bet?!
@@blacksheephouse it really does and a wonderful clean perfect front, i keep my handles on my sponge disposable brushes and use those if not the right size just drill the holes to match use wood filler of ur choosing to seal it up and give u a perfectly smooth front and almost zero cost.
@@tincanqueen333 Using the handles of the disposable brushes is genius!
@@JeskaLynn73 awe thank you! im poor so ingenuity is kind of in my wheel house. 😄
This looks amazing. I get bubbles whenever I am using a foam roller, but I am going to try your method and see how it works out. Thanks again.
I’m the worst with a foam roller. It must take a proper amount of practice
Ive done this without knowing then I watched this video and it helped.
I start full force getting the paint on.
Ill get tiny bubbles at first but as the roller gets more paint the bubbles subside. Then I begin rolling in one direction usually with the grain.
Each pass goes lighter and lighter to the point where I'm literally just moving the roller with the tip of my finger. It came out really smooth. A week later and its still a bit tacky but as soon as it dries Ill use 00 steel wool to clean and then wax.
Ive used basically the same technique, but I roll it on first with a roller then I get a dry roller to spread it out. Finish comes out great, screw whatever "community" disagrees with you. I don't care what those groups of people say, any "community" that I've seen is just a bunch of people hating on each other, so I stay away. I don't have time for their negativity. I usually just use the technique on small projects because it does require a lot of strokes, if I have to do a larger project, its faster just to use a spray gun and compressor if you have one. You can also paint full cars with this roller technique to get a smooth finish with oil paint. Takes a while but the technique is sound.
Dixie Belle mud is wonderful!
beautiful
Try Bondo wood filler. I use a foam roller too because it works for me too.
Selleys No More Gaps Interior Multipurpose - my best purchase
I was told that auto body filler works well? I have never tried but but will most likely today unless I find something else while in home D or Lowes? Awesome looking job! Thank you for posting.
Hi, I also find the wood filler to be a little trouble to put on, what i do is seperated some filler in a container and add very little water and it will smooth out and it will be easier to apply, put enough so when it dries it won't leave a dent, you will have enough to sand it smooth. I hope this tip helps.
Bondo glazing putty and the two part bondo filler for larger repairs. The glazing putty is one part so a little easier to deal with but more expensive.
Cost a couple hundred bucks but I had additional sockets added to the ceiling of my garage and some of those 5 way flapped lights. There are 7 of them, and that lights it up like a store :D
Bondo is a great wood filler. Give it a try!
