I made a bad life choice last night, so now I get to take on this little DIY project.

[@MattStormsSEO]

This is exactly what I needed, damn kids put a hole in the door, buying some bondo resin in the morning. Super helpful.

[@reyagu4607]

Such a dad comment lol

[@supersappy2562]

I am the damn kid lol

[@jameskirk3]

Buy solid doors and replace them as they get broken. It's the best bet long term.

This video was exactly what I was looking for! I feel confident that I can fix my similar situation now!

[@billhandymanbill2775]

Excellent video. Thank you! I removed a dead bolt lock from an apartment steel door and did the same repair you did, and it came out great! The Bondo product is available at auto parts stores or at big box stores. I would wear protective gloves when using/applying the product to protect your hands. Thanks again!

[@janfullmer7656]

Exactly what I needed. I wish I'd seen this sooner as I bought a new door and am in the process of installing it now. However, this will be great for the future. Thanks for sharing your know-how.

[@travishutchison6459]

It was a good job. You really didn't have to do the door switch at the end though lol. It was pretty easy to tell the final product door wasn't the same one you patched.

[@28FlyingDutchman]

Thank you for taking the time to film and share this! I have a pocket door in our master bathroom and the handle broke and fell out of the door. So the three sides of the door where the handle sat is completely gone. It has been broken for 5 years. Been asking my husband to fix it but he keeps putting me off. Now I know how to fix it and can do it myself. Thanks!

[@DIYeasycrafts]

You can do it!!!

Good job sir...gotta love American industriousness!

[@Donorcyclist]

Very nice work. So many people don’t even try to recreate texture and end up with terrible looking patch jobs. As we can see, it’s not hard to do the job well.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thank you!!!

So you really swapped out the door for a new one at the end or not? Cant believe you keep avoiding this question what a conman

Amazing work sir

[@MrSlowestD16]

Everybody here because they or somebody they love had a bad day. Thanks for the video. Isn't fiberglass toxic to sand? Need a respirator? Will standard mud with a mesh cover work like you patch sheet rock? I'm guessing not as well b/c it's wood... I've never worked with bondo before, hate stuff you have to mix because I'm never confident in the ratios.

[@jordanrock9785]

that is amazing. Thank you

[@RobertCondoure]

Thank you, very easy to understand.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Glad to hear that!

Good video

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thanks for the visit

[@loriarbuckle7934]

what if you still have the pieces attached. its more like, just pushed in. Are there any tricks to get the pieced flush again then use the bondo? Would you recommend I push the pieces through the rest of the way and create a hole?

[@nataliapic]

I have the same problem!

Thanks @DIYeasycrafts. Our door has similar color in your video, so could you let me know the paint you're using in your video. Having a link for that would be great. Thanks!

[@thefamousdjx]

Doesnt matter because it seems like he cheated at the end

[@NonStopVanek]

What material did you use?

[@spiritfluid]

That's so smart

[@julieshieldsdiyideasdecorm238]

Wow good to know

[@jameskirk3]

Why is the last pic shown of the door "after repainting the whole door" a completely different door? The trim on the left of the door had a run in the paint that wasnt there on the final door shown after the second coat. You can texture it properly, but using a sharp knife will stand out. Use a bamboo kabob stick to chase the grain. Something that wont cut, but will gouge.

[@frankiec5570]

Why did you show a different door at the end of the video? The panels are different sizes

[@dwnnn7390]

Nice thx

[@hybridnation5860]

Thanks buddy. My dumbass threw a light elbow at the door 🚪. But, it still broke 🥴. This video helps make me a better fixer upper 😅🎉

thanks @DIYeasycrafts Could you send a link to the condo product you used?

Bondo Fiberglass Resin Jelly, 00432, 1 Quart

[@outdoorangellynn]

I'm wondering if you can go back and add the description of the Bondo to reveal the product that you used. I would really like to do this to repair all of the doors in my house😂

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Its called. Bondo Glass Short Strand Reinforced Fiberglass Filler. You can get it on amazon or at some Home Depots. Other products might also work. This is just what I used

[@maryanne2025]

Hahaha like magic!

[@SushiXVII]

I threw my phone at my door from rage, but anyway I got a small hole like that so this is perfect 😂

@@DIYeasycrafts thank you so much !!

[@zachrojas2534]

Can I use wood filler?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

No I would not

[@john_turner]

The “second” coat of paint door is not even the same door as the one you started with. Check the wood grain lines to the right of the area at the start of the video vs the second coat of paint door. They are way different. Not the same door

[@thefamousdjx]

Yes he’s avoiding answering that question after being called out multiple times. What a conman

[@rockbottom8046]

All the angry wives looked up this video

[@Bigapplegirl81]

lol shutup....youre right. but we have reasons

[@kelmcfadden7906]

What’s the name of the tool you are using to sand it?

Looks like a DeWalt orbital sander

The wall is a different color and the panels on the door you fixed are bigger then The other door lol

[@wsmichael1096]

lol that’s not the same door

[@MuddySalsa]

It’s amazing what a couple coats of paint will do.

[@marvellstarks2434]

That was so fake in the end that was a completely different door. The paint on the wall was a different color.

[@debigeorgina]

I agree completely different door you can see from the square panel on each door grains go in different way But I think the filling job is still good

[@moojuice369]

Scam ending , what a fake KZbinr, ugh 😮🙄🙄🤨

[@joet7136]

Even so the repair was still very effective. Probably as close to new as you can get with that kind of damage.

[@marvellstarks2434]

@joet7136 how you know. It was a completely different door. If it was close to new. He would of shown the same repair

[@PhillyRealtorPro]

I ran to the comments looking to see who noticed!!! Lol

[@HerbieBancock]

Even if it wasn't fake it's a complete waste of time and money.

[@missleslieb.5269]

Too much work, just put a piece of wall taping over, plaster and sand, paint for the finish.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

I was worried that plaster over tape would not hold up but whatever works! Video just shows how I did the repair

[@thefamousdjx]

No way your second coat of paint magically fixes the crooked texture pattern at the patch. You should been honest that it didnt come out perfectly coz you looking like a fool now

[@DIYeasycrafts]

You are absolutely right. I fixed mult doors in the same room. I took video and photos of each. Should have showed the same finished door. Sorry!!

[@thefamousdjx]

@@DIYeasycrafts No worries, its an excellent educational video otherwise 😃😃

[@inkstain7193]

Amatuer hour.

Buy a new door

That looks terrible

The paint changed on wall Do I have to paint my wall to or jist film another door 🤔😂😂😂👍🏼

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Actually repaired a couple doors in the same room. Should have shown both

[@charliem4867]

Do I need to paint the whole door if I get a paint match and just paint that area? Painting the whole door is a whole separate project and not easy for the average person 😂

[@thefamousdjx]

He doesn’t know because he obviously cheated and showed us the wrong door at the end.
