How To Fix Holes And Dents In A Steel Door

[@robstephens]

You can lay a piece of wax paper over the body filler after applying it and use a small board on top of the wax paper to flatten and spread the filler out. After the filler sets up, the wax paper will peel right off leaving a flattened patch that requires minimum sanding.

[@randomasmr8725]

Thanks!

[@VanmeterFL]

Thanks. I have several repairs I need to make on my aluminum pool cage frame. I'm certain the wax paper will also help to keep the autobody filler in place while it's setting. I've had a bit of difficulty keeping the filler from sinking into the little holes. Hoping this will help.

[@cfaz6763]

Bought a house and realized someone who was here before me punched the steel front door, on the inside. I thought of filling it with auto body filler...now I think I will. Thanks!

[@drseuss8589]

For little screw holes in hollow metal doors or panels, You can use a foam fun and shoot some foam in the holes, then after it has expanded dig a little out, then fill with Bondo

[@paulhillbiz]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@dre7637]

Why did you quit making videos? I just came across your channel and I love it! I hope that you will reconsider and make more because you’re really talented and such a good teacher.

[@thomaskleinbauer6518]

Hi, John. It's too bad that you decided to stop doing home reno channels. I mean, I respect your decision, but being a fan of all your other channels (even, shockingly, the scrap bin... although that one could have more project videos... just kidding ;-)) I have to say that I also especially enjoyed watching the various things you did to your house. I also lament that you took off a lot of the videos you previously posted here, because I did actually come back and rewatched a lot of them when they were still there. Don't take this comment as a complaint, though, it's really meant to be an expression of admiration of both your skills and your versatility.

[@rafvdp6391]

Was just watching some older video's ( main channel 2014 and older ) and now liking them ( didn't know that was a thing till you educated me ). Till this came on. You are fixing a whole lot of doors lately , no wonder you are so good at it 😁👍

[@michaelnewell9662]

[@TheRubytuesday123]

My steel entry door has a dent where it swung into the exterior light fixture... nine years ago! Finally going to fix it this year now that I have a solid procedure to follow. Thanks, John!

[@ansadale3]

Thank you so much for this video. I was looking for a long time how to fix my rusty french door

[@Babyjohn8170]

Great job! I really enjoyed watching your process.😊👍

[@jayhitek]

Very ingenious. I'm locking this one in the memory bank for future use.

[@TheMikey143]

John, been watching your videos for years and love them all. Wondering if you will be doing anymore "home" videos. They're my favorite!!!!

[@MarkH10]

Ford those with child discipline issues, I solved it for a friend about 20 years ago. I was there when the door knock came, 6 year old won the footrace, and flung open the door to a stranger. Mom was upset. Stranger embarrassed. I excused myself, drove 4 miles to HD, bought another sight hole. Returning, I asked if Mom and Dad would allow me to install it, and stood the little girl on her toes to find the install height. Little girl could now be excited, reach the door first, and remain safe, by announcing strangers or know she knew who she opened for.

[@TheHealingHandsDuo]

Does bondo contain asbestos, I know it has talc in it, would this be dangerous to sand down inside the house? I didn’t want to have to take my front door off but have some tiny holes to fix and a minor dent but spent years picking all nontoxic products for my home because of my health.

[@erockplumtree3836]

Great video! Any recommendations if the metal has a wood pattern?

[@JimLambier]

These repair suggestions will come in handy. What type of metal are you using for the patches so it won't rust? Also any recommendations for the paint type?

[@athhud]

Painted metal won’t rust...

[@scottthompson4120]

What epoxy did you use on the door as filler?

[@pepelepew9468]

Great job , Ive been a carpenter for 27yrs and that’s what I would’ve done. What kind of epoxy did you use .

[@casid9929]

Sorry I doubted end result! How long did you have to sand larger holes to get them that smooth?

[@KipdoesStuff]

As long as it takes to sand them until they are smooth, lol.

[@813614921]

What is a crossover tool box?

[@kmonnier]

You never want to flat grind with an angle grinder, a bear might sneak up behind you and steal your pancakes.

[@Carl-LaFong1618]

I hate when that happens

[@ulucio86]

This is the smartest thing I had seen. 👍

[@cindytruong4685]

Could you tell me what kind of sander you have? I love that it looks to have padding ?

[@thinktank8286]

I have a metal screen door where the hydraulic closure has stripped out screw holes. Would this work for filling in the old holes, and be strong enough to take a new screw?

[@xyzc7349]

Which Sander are you using?

[@khwaldrop]

What type of saw did you use to cut the screws?

[@МарияКривенко-т9г]

Why not do both sides first and then line up the jig with holes at each end? No measuring needed.

[@randomasmr8725]

What kind of auto paint filler do you buy?

[@CapysGardenShop]

I shared your video w/ Incredible Tiny Homes on youtube. The ESP homes are made from steel door remnants. 🤓 That Bondo? looks fun to play around with. Do you think the Bondo would be a good rust preventative over the ESP screws? (ESP-engineered steel panel)

[@luket4678]

Good video, John. I look forward to using your tips, soon. Keep up the great work/videos.

[@globalmudraperformingarts5678]

Can you please post the name of the auto body products used.thank you

[@Luhrayuh]

My guess is Bondo

[@jennjenkins3784]

That looks great 🎉

[@jackjune156]

What grit sandpaper did you use on that was That an orbital sander?

[@MarkH10]

In the auto business you progress from small to higher grit to keep it smooth. Metal with filler ends up at 1500 to 2000 grit.

[@muh1h1]

How many more videos will we get about that door? I amnot complaining by the way :D

[@IBuildItHome]

This was the last one, but there will be more in the future on other project builds.

[@pinksalt1057]

Brilliant video, thank you.

[@pvat3168]

They make blank out plates and blank out plugs for deadbolt holes. Repairing a door this way doesn’t last long. It’s best to have a professional fix them so they last.

[@duMaurier15]

is there a part 2 so we can see the finished product/door? or did it not turn out as great as you wanted? It's okay if it didn't... you can tell me. Im not the type to have a "better balls contest" with other ppl.
