Wow. I'm glad you were to the point. Most people give a 30 minute intro and it drags on. Thank you
This information was exactly what i needed! I was thinking i had to sand/file away the old paint and wood to get the filler material to stick. After 15 years in my new construction home, some of my baseboards have some pretty good dings and gouges in them. This tip should help me repair all of the damaged bits, without replacing or hiring a handiman. Thank you so much!
This is great. I was trying to do the repair in one coat. Very difficult and frustrating. This makes a lot more sense. And you got right to the point. I appreciate that too. Will definitely try, thank you!
Yaaas bro thank you, a picture fell and chipped our floorboard and my husband lost his mind...your video settled his soul
WOW! Thank you! After years of staring at a gash on the baseboard at the bottom of my stair landing I can finally fix it and forget it. The situation that caused it was stressful and upsetting. Every time I see it am reminded of the situation. Now I can fix it and forget the situation ever happened!
Man, an accident happened 2 days ago in my new house and one baseboard was damaged and by watching your video I was able to fix it and it looks like new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 happy thanksgiving!!!
Dude I totally love you for this!! My dog literally chewed almost every baseboard in my apartment. Hellooooo security deposit!! :D
Came here for the exact same reason lol! Thinking I'm going to get buy a home next year and need to fix up some repairs in the apartment so I get my security deposit back too! Hope its worked out for you!

SAME!!! New puppy chewed about half the baseboards in my house!
I was so happy to find your video. I easily repaired my baseboard using your technique. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU! My puppy ate a little bit of the baseboard at my apartment! This is perfect!
People talking about their dogs eating their baseboards while I'm here dealing with a munchin bunny and a house for sale D:
Bunnies are the worst. I'm here because of two of them. :(
Allison Walker i dont know how to get them to stop 😩😩
Me too!! Naughty buns!
Me too! Usually I put a grid over the baseboards, but forgot today. A lot of chewing has been done.
I just had this happen to me... trying to find the right color of white to match the base board.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I just moved into an older house with years of damage and a previous DOG so I've been very frustrated with how it looked. Now I can just make this a weekend project one room at a time and my OCD will not go into overdrive!!
Omg thank for this simple easy to do video, i thouth i was going to have to pay my apartment complex alot of money fo the wood my dog chewed up a little , this was great !!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

This was fantastic, thank you. I'm going to try and use this method for fixing out door frame from cat scratches.
Great tip & nice job on the repair
Awesome video. This will help me repair my moulding. Thanks for the demo!
Excellent video. I have 3 pieces to fix. All of them would be tough to replace. I am now looking forward to fixing. Thanks

This was excellent. Thank you!
OMG you just saved me a whole lot of time and $$$.
Thanks so much!
Hi Adam! I think I'm going to try to do this repair work thanks to your vid!
For me the key learning point that I did not realize was to drag the knife left or right not straight up an down . Thank you so much .
We where worried how to patch up these nicks around our Airbnb, and this really helps. Thank you
Excellent video. Just what I needed to see.
Your the man!! You confirmed what i was thinking, thank you!!!!!
Thank you for this video! I fixed a corner baseboard that my dog had chewed for under 8 bucks! Wife Goals!
Had the exact damage as you showed. Followed your directions. $4.98 for a small tub of all purpose joint compound. Will probably never use it again but who cares. Looks as good as new. Thanks.
Always wondered if this could be done THX
Awee thank u so much. We bought this house with so many freaking damaged baseboards and other areas. I was gonna use Bondo but this may be better
Awesome video, quick and to the point.
Great video simple and to the point
That's amazing. Thank you so much!
Great idea, never thought of that technique....thx
Thanks for the video. I like the technique. I have peeling paint on the molding of a 6 panel door and need a way to smooth the surface between paint and bare wood under it.
Thank you! This was so helpful
Terrific video! BIG like!!
Very much to the point, very informative and very useful.
Thanks from Australia
Yo this is a great video, I am going to try this on a counter baseboard in the kitchen
Thank you so much man. I never could have done this without you.
Great video!! Life saver for puppy chewed base boards...
This is so helpful omg thank you!! I have young chinchillas and one of them loves to chew on the baseboards, now I can finally fix them properly!
wolfgirl7458 my hamster chewed my baseboards😂
can i use plastic filler?
Great quick fix.
Nice video , thank your for the tutorial .. I have a question about door frame edges .. when the movers moved furniture to the house the edges of the main door frame were scratched and dented . You know it's a soft 90 degree wood edge that is dented . How would you fix that ? The door is ok it's the outside wood frame needs fixing .
Thank you so much for teaching me how to fix the baseboard.
+C_ Farther Glad to help!
Can't see the damage at all, nice repair, nice job.
The walls in my room don’t have a primer on them so when I removed a poster it ripped a big hole in my wall can I use this method as well for that.
Yes this is going to help me. Thanks.
Great! Short and sweet!
Do we have to wait the full 24 hours before each coat??
Another guy with some pet damage to fix before moving out, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
How long does one coat take to dry?
Can you please tell me if you did this and if it worked the way you wanted it to
Awesome! Thanks
Very helpful!
Wow amazing! Thank you so much!!
Thanks!!
life saver, thank you
Very useful, thanks
can you use this for a damaged door frame?
This is super nice! How do you find the right paint color?
I'm in the process of fixing several areas of damage in my daughter's room before painting. I'm using Elmer's wood filler because I don't want it to shrink or ding. The area I just fixed is exactly like your demo. I taped under and over the area and filled it in over three days and sanded it round to match. The process is the same but I wonder about the longevity of joint compound.
Too bad your concerns where not mentioned though this guy sure wants our money. lol
Gracias!!!
Well done
Very helpful video. What grit sandpaper did you use? Thanks.
Thank you so much for this.. great video thank you.
Thank you for this video. How long does it take each coat to dry before you reapply?
+Jamie Corley That depends on the temperature and humidity. Usually several hours in a typical setting. It also depends on how big the patch is. You can speed it up with a hair dryer.
Hi Adam, thanks so much for this video, it's concise & very helpful. Just wondering if you used joint compound cause you had it on hand or would spackle work just as well.
I have not used spackle in a long time. I remember it being annoying to work with. I know they make other kinds now so maybe it is better, but I find that the joint compound works just fine.

Adam I have MDF baseboards. Needs some touchup but don't want to paint all the baseboards. So my question is what white paint do you use so I can blend it in as not to have to paint everything. Just want to blend it in after patching.
Thank you soooooo much!💖💛💖💖
This saved my freaking butt. Thank you SO much’
What an ingenious idea.
What do you do for a natural wood board that's just stained, not painted?
Just did this procedure. Worked like a charm on a busted baseboard with a huge chip(about the size of a thumb). Be patient while the joint compound dries. It will dry on top layer but still be pliable underneath. It needs to dry fully before applying another layer or sanding.
I'm wondering if you have ever used it on baseboard that got ruined by pet urine because it looks very warped and swollen.
Perfect!
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks lot
Nice video. Helpful
How long do you give each coat to dry? Thank you.
Can you please tell me how long you wait inbeetween each find
If i have the chipped pieces are they worth using or no? Also how long do i need to wait for joint compound before adding next coat?
Yes mate love it told me what I need to know
Thank you.
Great tip. Can you use white wood filler call Spackle instead of drywall compound?
Awesome vid thank you!
Whict type of do you use?
What paintbrush do you recommend to avoid the paint looking gritty when you paint?
Do you recommend any certain paint for baseboards?
Do you have any suggestions on how to repair a door casing that has been cut to high?
Very helpful 👌 idea
Can I use spackle to do this?
Great and very informative video - thank you! Can I use ElastoPatch instead of joint compound? How long did you let it dry between coats?
How long are you waiting between coat of compound?
Can this method work for window sills my puppy chewed the corner of it and in just researching how I can fix it without having to replace the whole things since it's a small area.
very helpfull ty
Wow excellent
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video! Just one question - does this also work on the corners where 1 baseboard meets another ?
Ohhh ! I have the same question! Were you able to fix your corner?
