At least you can knock on wood after that ingenious fix. Nicely done!
TYSM! I really appreciate that..
I would make the person that made the hole buy me a new door ! 👍 I've had no luck with those CA glues too. Your repair is a good fix Rudy! Thanks for showing!
Lol... I know right... breaking the door on purpose 😂! Yea I was shocked that glue was that bad. I guess it might work for something else, but not for the door... Thanks for the great feedback.. 😀
I was missing the Smoogg and feather steps lol ... Thanks man! This was actually very helpful. I was doing it all wrong.
So glad I could help! You're welcome... 😀
This is brilliant! Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Well, heck, stop hitting the door with a hammer and save yourself some work. Nice job, again, Rudy.
Lol... I gotta admit I usually don't break things on purpose, but it was fun to do it once! Thanks for the great feedback..😀
How come you didn’t pre drill the shims before you glued them inside the door? Just curious because I’m about to try it this way and didn’t know if you thought that would be a good idea.
HI.... Yes that's a fine idea. The shims do have a tendency to split....
Ok thanks. What kind of paint would you reccomend using?
@@tylerrhodes9069 There are so many paints out there I don't have a specific recommendation. I would personally stay away from what I would call "cheap" or "contractor" grade paints. I've found that they wind up being a lot of extra work and don't really cover that well. For doors and trim I would use either a semi-gloss or satin paint. Definitely wouldn't recommend flat.
see i typed big hole like im talking 3x that size
Yes that's big!
Several good ideas. I dont understand why you filled the door with foam. surly the glued wood sticks are at least as strong (and more than strong enough for the repair) alone. I think the foam is a good idea if the reason for the hole remains, and you need a stronger door at the location, but otherwise, the rest of the door is still just as week as it was.
The foam is just a backer and gives some strength to the wood shims. I don't think that glue is all that strong. I know it may be overkill, but for a few dollars, it'll have plenty of strength in whatever area is in question. Especially if it's prone to happening again. Thanks for the feedback.. 😀
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel I came up with an idea after watching this video and reading your comment: On the wood shim, apply JB-Weld _and_ a little super glue to each end. The super glue provides a rapid hold, and the JB-Weld provides long-term strength.
@@censored7881 Great idea! That should work fine. Can the JB Weld be sanded for a smooth finish?
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel Yeah, and in fact I just used JB-Weld to repair dents in my work table. My suggestion to use JB-Weld on the shims wouldn't involve JB-Weld oozing out so that you'd need to sand it, but you could also actually use it as a filler, if you had the door laying flat during the work, obviously. Might need to mix a ton of the shit, though.
Lol! The foam wasn't much of a problem. It pretty much breaks off and then you can scrape it down flat. JB weld of course is stronger material. I tried to use it to fix a cracked engine block once that was oozing antifreeze from the side... It didn't work to great for that application... 😂
POV you accidentally hammered a hole in your door
Lol!
