Good job! Your method of using the wood shims, the expanding foam and the Bondo made the hole repair more structurally sound.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like my method 🙏🏽😊
but you can't get the bondo right without sanding and you can't sand until it hardens. if you do the grains first you will end up sanding alot of your detail out
Just replace the door, dumb dumbs. Your inexperience is showing and you are over charging your client
@Jack Holloway thanks! I do alot of specialized repairs in this area. I make good money and have a high demand. I have found that doing the fine details does require an ability to sculpt. very few times have I cut mt details beforehand. if I need a very deep impression I will carve it with a razor just before it hardens into a pain in the ass.
@ the doors i replace are well worth the repairs lol
I’m surprised these types of doors can be repaired so beautifully. Excellent work!
A simple way to replicate the wood grain is to scribe in the grain lines with a toothpick while the bondo is still soft. It takes some finesse, but is much easier than trying to do it after it hardens.
Thank you for sharing your advice! 🙏🏽👍🏽
… multi tool when dry!
I had to fix a door that had been mauled with an angle grinder by the painters that worked for the HOA. The wood-grain wasn't much of an issue, since the paint was thick enough to hide it, but the fluting where the wood met the glass was all messed up. I used construction adhesive and re-created the lines with a hack saw blade as the cement was hardening. Still looks passable today.
Good point I was looking at making a mold to copy it to lay over the patch as it sets up then taking it off but a scratch tool works also probly more control.
Just use a file. If you have an assortment you’ll be abled to match the curves easy once dry.
I have an easier fix. Fill the hole with expandable foam and let dry over night. The next day. trim the foam back to the thickness of the door outer shell. Fill the space with wood filler. While the wood filler is still wet, take an old brush and run it across the wood filler in the direction of the grain in the door surface. Once the filler has fully dried, sand lightly, prime and paint.
Good job. I have 30 rentals and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Charles
PS Both the video and a reply were good.
@@camiechappell1684how would you recommend me going about attaining rental properties to eventually this being my main source of income over time. Thank you and I appreciate any information.
Thank you Brotha For a simple fix 🙏
Any idea what paint matches ? That's my concern my door is from home Depot
Nice. I would lay the door down when putting in the spray foam. That way gravity does not pull the foam away from the area you want to build it up in.
That’s really clever! Thank you for sharing your technique! I will save that in the future! 🙏🏽😊
I would have laid that door down in a nice dumpster.
@@scotts4125 Then you're going to have to go to the bathroom with no door.
@@drmodestoesq I suppose it would be easier to ask you for a roll of TP so not all bad!
I was taught to use thick cardboard for this, to make a hole in it and add a string with a (wooden) match stick (minus the sulfur/red) fastened to it on the backside, so it can work as a stopper. This string can be pulled on without coming off before you cut the it (then the match falls down into the door and stays there). Glue was applied to the cardboard, which was fed into the hole, so it would be glued to the backside around the hole by pulling on the string for a little while. When the glue had dried, spackel («plaster»?) was used to fill in the hole itself (since the cardboard works as a support or scaffolding) and to provide the finish, then sanded before the door was painted. On a door like in this video, if you want a close to perfect result, you can use different tools to draw in (or more correct; cut out ) the texture that is missing, by filling in the lines that are missing. This shouldn’t be very difficult if you used ordinary spackel.
Instead of epoxy putty, I use Durabond 90 which is a drywall compound with a hardener in it that is typically used for corners on drywall because it is a lot harder and more durable than regular drywall compound, but is still sand-able. I put the stuff on and let it dry a bit, then use a notched trowel with small teeth and drag across the surface of the putty to blend in the wood-like texture of the door. Works like a charm. Once sanded down a bit, primed and painted, you'll never never know there was ever a hole there.
You should do a video on this! I would love to check it out
Did you still use the foam and wood support inserts or not needed with this method ?
I would use crumpled up newspaper as a backer, and fill the holes with 20 minute mud. The wood grain is easy to do in the semi-cured or cured mud. Shape, sand and paint.
All of this CA adhesive, wood shims, expanding foam, Bondo and paint will cost more than a new hollow core door. The 20 minute mud is cheap and can be used to patch walls etc.
Does Durabond last and not crack? This is what I want to use
@@davidparker9676does Durabond last and not crack?
This was really useful, specially if it's a flat surface. Appreciate the step by step and explaining. Good one!
Just knocked a hole in my door in rage now I need to fix it, thank you kind sir lol this looks totally do-able for me! Luckily my hole is about the size of a kiwi cut in half but I have those grooves I've got to try to work in so I can sell my house hahaha xD eye-yi-yi!
Yes definitely doable! Hope your hand was ok man! 🙏🏽👍🏽
I foamed and bondoed mine. Good job. I used paint brush to brush wood grain into bondo. Sanded it a bit. Painted all good.
I imagine a drimmel tool could be used to match up the door grooves if you wanted to,but over all ,great job! thanks for the great info.
Nice work! This little demo will stay with me forever, surely I'll use this somewhere somehow some way
AND ANOTHER 1
YOU ARE A GREAT INSTRUCTOR. YOU MAKE EVERYTHING SO SIMPLE AND EASY 4 US ALL. 🤪👍
Looks good. In fact, I think that looks good enough that you could have saved the door; the only real reason to buy a new one was the asymmetrical trimming on the hinge side, and even that could be fixed by shimming the hinge side and trimming the doorknob side. In fact, if you haven't already, you might want to do a video or two on trimming doors that are a little too big. I've made use of a number of doors that way, and it they last forever as long as you make sure there is enough wood around the edges. Stile&rail doors are a little harder, but with a few well placed metal fasteners, they can also be trimmed without leaving them in pieces.
This is a very difficult project to begin with and you did a great job. My opinion- Very helpful. Thanks 🙏👍
Great job! I have to fix mine. My son damage his closet door the same way. Thank you very much for the instruction!
Tha k you so much! I've been trying to figure out how to repair two hollow doors for years!! This was so easy 👏
I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you for the love and support!🙏🏽😊

Thank you for the tip! For the profiles I’ll use dremell tool to shape it.
You have the most exotic how to videos in all of CZcams 🤣 the ugly truth of a handyman ! Thank you !
Thank you for the awesome feedback! 🙏🏽👍🏽😊
Dude! Awesome job! Impressed with how you fixed the uneven part!
Now I know how to fix the bedroom door some guy punched a whole into (not me, of course)
Thanks
Love this channel. I always learn new stuff on repairs that I never considered (always thought I had to replace)
Thank you Kevin for all your love and support to the channel! Have a great weekend my friend! 🙏🏽😊
You did a good job ,thank you for the tutorial ,God Bless You
Thank you so much!🙏🏽😊 Have a great weekend!
Thank you. I had to fix a door like this, it went pretty well. But wish I would have known about this. Thank you. Very nice 👍
Man thank you, on God I was about to go buy two whole other 🚪's. 👍🏽👍🏽💯
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
I like to cut fine wood grain groves when the bondo is semi hard. A multi tasker can carve the molding profile on the 45 but it is tricky. The wood grain is stamped at the factory so if you have a junk door you can cut out the same area from the junker and match them super good with the junk door piece super glued in place of the bondo.
Thank you ! You are a very good teacher and I will definitely be using this method !!
Excellent repair ideas! Thank you for showing us!
Thank you for the love and support! 🙏🏽😊
Great job explaining. I was lazy and I made the mistake of putting a top layer of spackle on Bondo. That was a bad idea as the spackle chips off. Now I know how to do it, right
Ramen noodles and crazy glue is my go to
😂! I know that trick haha
That's a solid job man, awesome!!
Thanks for your time and skills
He better had solid doors😏
@@jasmijnariel Him good job do solid. he better better, he better better, swing.
U GAVE US HOPE TO REPAIR THE DOOR .
EXCELLENT
Thank you so much for painting this door JUST FOR ME
Anytime my friend! 🙏🏽😊
Very interesting, I use HardRock, when I do this. It cost less and is easier to work with, but it is always good to have several options and I thank you for that. God Bless!
Thank you! I’ll need to try that product!
@@FixThisHouse It's incredible, I use it to repair Facia instead of replacing them. God Bless!
Did you mean Durham’s RockHard? Not HardRock as in the Café and music? 🤗
@@lottatroublemaker6130 Durham's, God Bless!
Artistically achieved a nice sound job. Nicely done .

Have a all flat door without the panels, so I’m gonna try this method! Just need it to be non noticeable before I move out!
Hey man, great video! Thanks for taking the time and sharing
Thank you so much for the love and support! 🙏🏽😊
Hard rock is certainly overlooked quite a lot. It works extremely well
I will have to try that product, thank you for suggesting! 👍🏽😊
Great instructional video. Thank you for sharing!!!!
my dog cracked my bedroom door in 2 places at the bottom along the edge of that detail. this was super helpful. THANKS!
Thank you for teaching me that. I'm sure that I can tackle that now.
My remodeling co does the shims only hit glue- but we do bondo, and take a cut template of the door and smooth it out and impress the grain look it into the bondo-
Nice! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽😊
Great demo, man! Thanks!
Wow !just Perfect you done a great job sir ! Very appreciate for your sharing!!!
A dremel works well if you want to carve out the detail. Nice idea to foam behind the shims.
Thank you so much for the feedback and advice! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
You done a great job on that door.Nice video,
Outstanding job!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Great for rental property and for your own doors if you want to spend the time for the details with a dermal tool. Great video
Thank you so much for the support! 🙏🏽😊
What kind of dermal tool can be used for details?
Wow, nice job. Thanks for showing that 👍
I like the way you went in and out when you were drilling the hole.
👍🏽😉
That's what she said.
Looks great Brother! Honestly I would have replaced the door slab myself as well.
Thank you so much! 👍🏽😊
You did an excellent job.
Big Help especially with the hard part
Thank you so much! Im glad I could be of help! Have a great weekend! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
That's a great job done mate

Thanks for the tip, very good job 👍🏻
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Fantastic job keep up the good work
This looks great!
I have to say Great Job!
Thank you so much! 😊🙏🏽
Looks great to me. Good job
I've come to really like your informative videos. About those little detail areas of the door, I've done one interior modern type. On one side I used my curved wood working tool. Fine, but Bondo can really dull them if it's dry. On the opposite side while still soft enough to manipulate I pressed a #2 pencil along the groove, and got a perfect line. On a larger more complex piece of 80 year old door I used my pin curve/shape tool on a good piece and then taped the pins so they would not move and dragged the shaped side along the wood filler I was using to imprint the detail. (I had not learned about Bondo except for old car repair at tat time.)
Great Job! Alway before a paintjob i find it so hard to imagine how good it will look.
Because it always looks botched when its ready for paint. Doesnt matter if its walls, ceilings or doors.
Details on the mirror surface is not too hard to do. Just wait till the putty is like clay and run a weat pencil over it making the lines.
Thank you very much. Very helpful!!
That looks awesome!
Thank you Beth! 🙏🏽😊
Good job . Thanks
Beautiful thank you for your help
Another awesome video brother stay strong and God bless

Wingsandbeaks here. Thanks for sharing. Tons of information! New subscriber.
Saved me a lot of time.
Very good job
Looks great
Thank you 🙏🏽!
We line hole with crumpled newspaper and then spray great stuff then after it hardens we trim slightly below the service then fill it with minwax 2 part epoxy two coats. Then scribble grain in the epoxy. It hardens in about 5 minutes. Never had a problem with this type of repair.
Thank you for sharing!
Nice repair well done 👍☝️🌟
First class video great information 👍
Thank you so much! Have a great weekend! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽

good will try
New subscriber... Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Very amazing.
Great job! Thank you..
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse Hey, I couldn't find the particular glue and activator that you used. Is there any other glue that you would recomend for the job? Thank you..
Thank you🤗
Great work .. excellent
This is outstanding work. I wish my doors were like this, but unfortunately they're those old school ones that are flat with a woodgrain, stained finish so I can't use these techniques without having to paint to hide the patches. The one thing I don't understand is why did you not cut out a square to make things a bit easier for you? I'm honestly curious to know. Is it more difficult? The reason I ask because I would have treated this like a drywall patch. Cut the damaged area into a square, use paint sticks for backers, CA glue to seal the hole, then wood putty because I didn't even think of Bondo, or Durabond, lol. I also would not have thought to use the spray foam.
I apologize if I sound like a snarky idiot. I assure you I'm not being snarky, but I AM an idiot, lol. Thank you for the great video, and thank you comment section for additional tips!
Good job
Great job.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Its best to shove paper in the hole and pushing it down below the hole. This will keep the foam from running down therefore filling the area much quicker and no waste.
The information is great but my problem with the groves on the door. is there a certain tool that I can use to recreate them. I have the same type of doors that I am trying to make perfect like new.....after being damaged in critical areas.
I used plastic wood. What do you think?
thanks
Dope job🙏🏾
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Great repair👍
Thank you Shania! 🙏🏽😊
