  • In this video, I use Bondo Wood Filler to fix a knick in my door trim. When I took my door off of the hinges, I accidentally hit the wooden trim. I have used Bondo in projects before and I like how user friendly it is and I am always happy with the outcome. (I am not sponsored by Bondo.)

    I recently had my house painted, when I was going through what I wanted done with the painter, we noticed some dry rot around a loose knot on a piece of facia. He recommended that about six feet of the fascia be replaced and it would add $450 to the price of the paint job. I told that I would take care of it myself. I went online and bought some wood hardener and wood Bondo for less than $50 . I chiseled out the dry rot and loose knot; once I was down to solid wood, I treated the cavity with a liberal dose of hardener. After that stuff cured ( the treated area was as hard as a rock), I filled in the hole with a few layers of the Bondo. After a little Surform plane work and sanding, I gave it a coat of primer. The repaired area is indistinguishable from the rest of the facia. Great stuff!

    I was happy to see you use Bondo correctly by cutting it down while it's in the plastic state. It's designed to harden to the plastic state where you can work it with a knife or cheese grater type file to quickly get it close to the final shape. Then as you said it will harden rock hard for sanding.
    So many DIYers let it harden 100% and then spend hours sanding...

    You are an artist! Using the flashlight to see imperfections is a great hint, I'll try to remember.

    Hey Matt-well done; it turned out great. I don't know if anyone else said this, but taping or masking off an area will minimize much of the time spent removing the excess bondo. It also helps reduces the risk of more damage via a slip of the chisel. :( Great job and a 👍 as always. God bless.

    • @PaulMikna

      Yes, I mask off as well.... It really helps.... I use this stuff all the time for wood rot repairs in tough areas.

    I have used the Auto body version of Bondo to fix things like that around the house . Who knew there was a wood version of Bondo. I guess I just dont get out very often.

    I use the red Bondo glazing putty that comes in a tube. Just squeeze on a blade and you can fill every nick in your house.
    Sands out super smooth in about 5-10 min.

    Awesome job!
    I would have gotten it all over me and everything else.
    Then I would have damaged the area even worse, by using the chisel.
    That when I would just put a blob of paint over it and called it a day. 😮

    i wonder if the company ever considered just adding some dye to either part to neutralize the color, like if it goes on wood wouldn't you want it to not be slightly green? lol

  • @Rasmus3377
    @Rasmus3377 2 месяца назад

    Could you drill a couple of small holes in the knick to make the bondo grab harder? Or unnecessary?

    Wood filler would have worked since it’s not a high wear location.

    • @TheFixerHomeRepair
      @TheFixerHomeRepair  2 месяца назад

      I suppose but depending on the filler I would be worried about even the vibration of the door closing loosening it up. Definitely would not use any kind of spackle.
