  • @mickyunit
    @mickyunit 8 лет назад +13

    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!

  • @bekkiharper2963
    @bekkiharper2963 2 года назад +11

    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!

  • @kebers
    @kebers 4 года назад +2

    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!

  • @HB4020

    @a.e.5563 3 года назад +3

    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.

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 .

    @funstuffonthenet5573 Год назад

    This is the first DIY video I have seen where reality is as easy as the video. Just put the first coat on, didn't realize I could use joint compound. I had been staring at the baseboards thinking I should use wood filler or resin 😂.
    Good thing is I already had plenty of joint compound in the garage

    • @zacharycollins6548
      @zacharycollins6548 Год назад +3

      Hard Water Putty works too. It's a bit stronger than joint compound and can be sanded also. Only problem is it cures faster, and may require faster work for a big job.

    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.

      +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.
