Good job! Your method of using the wood shims, the expanding foam and the Bondo made the hole repair more structurally sound.

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

@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

I had a very similar damaged spot on a door like your second repair. I just wood glued it scuffed it up and used spackling to finish the repair. Spackling is a lot cheaper than Bondo and vastly easier to sand and it's fairly easy to rough in the grain pattern. After repainting it was hardly noticeable.

Thanks for the tips. Wondered why you didn't just put the spray foam in first and then before cured, put the wood shims (I guess we've all used paint sticks too) in with a longer curing wood glue so it doesn't firm up too fast and let the expansion of the spray foam push the wood against the back side of the hollow core door? -- you mentioned that you waited several hours for the foam to set up any way -- pretty much ends up the same wait time in the end? short-strand fiberglass Bondo (has a green label) works nicely for the same. I added 1-1/2 inches (square cut wood from a 2x4 trimmed to 1-3/8 deep) to the bottom of a hollow core door. there are opposing vertical/horizonal patterns when you span the bottom of a door... used a thin putty knife to approximate pattern-- light sanding left valleys approximately the same as the pattern. I only mention the stuff with fiberglass as it sanded super smooth (all bondo does) but I was hoping it added some flex since hollow cores are flimsy. Any recommendations on a contour sanding kit which would have helped on the grooves if you'd wanted to get a finer touch on those grooves in the panel?

Just needed to pick away a little bit at the Bondo to get that natural grain look and then it would’ve been nearly perfect! You still did a great job and thanks for the video!

If you want to replicate the graining of the original finish use a clean yard broom or similar in the semi-dry primer/undercoat surface to wipe the surface, a single stroke should do it. Let it dry and then paint over with the finishing coats.

​@@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..

Spray foam is not squishy. It’s actually surprisingly solid. They use it to raise up concrete. Maybe cause you used the window door stuff. Just used the regular great stuff.

Thank you for your input. I’ve used all of them as for Great STUFF, they are all squishy. I think what they use for concrete is polyurethane foam.👍🏽😊

The hole is smaller than yours to barely allow one shim. Do you recommend tape, a drill bit to sit in the door (I am using a hand drill) foam first then the shim to hold it in? I just don't want to drop the piece but the screw you recommended isn't long enough to brace against the inside of the door, to hold the glue even with activator.
