    In this modern age products are designed to fail, that we continue to consume. We got to get crafty if we don’t wanna fall in that trap.
    I love me some dap, it’s my go to spackle. I’m a painter, do remodels and it’s the newer, even more expensive homes that use this mdf crap. Oil based primer is key, especially with trim inside bathrooms, kitchens, anywhere that might get wet, even mopping will pop that cardboard mdf out even with latex top coat. I won’t lie though, bondo is usually what I’d use for extra durability (corners, edges), at least for filling larger places, as it dries whole lot quicker, certainly harder than spackle, which I use to skim for finish.
    Good video brother.

    Finally!! Someone who explains how to repair particle board! I have a client who wants me to restore her bathroom vanity and it has EXTENSIVE water damage in the back corner..So I'm glad I found this video because I was about ready to give up on it! Just wish I would have gotten the spray paint primer instead but hopefully it'll turn out looking beautiful!

      @larasmith2616 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      the damage is actually worse than I thought..like idk if I'll be able to get all of it off and still have a vanity left..I didn't have any spackling, just wood filler..so I hope I got enough of the bad stuff off so that it'll stick to it..this has become one big mess for sure! even the bottom is rotten..so I figured I'd just reinforce it with some wood and prime it so it has some support..I already created a hole straight through the side..idk what leaked in this thing but it's bad..the worst I've ever seen..like I almost feel like it needs new mdf boards and just completely redone..

  • @dmra1929

    Hey yall, Quick tip. Use automotive Bondo (the red stuff in the toothpaste tube) instead of drywall mud. I know he mentioned that, and didnt want to risk it not sticking, but I've done this before with it and if you sand it well first, it WILL stick to the particle board. Its a lot harder and won't puncture easy like drywall mud will. Bondo is much stronger for something like a table top. Great video my friend, and good info with it too.

    Thank you so much Sir!! I have a desk I got for free that I had an idea in mind. But we had a lot of rain come through and the top of the desk didn’t;t get covered like it should have been. Thus, I have a small area of this really pretty Mid Mod oak desk that now has damage about the size of soda can would Leave if it were sat down. My plan was to Ceruse the top of the desk, which it has one coat on and is looking ok. Even trying to hide the water damage. But I didn’t know if I couldn’t keep sanding lower and then how to get it level with the whole top. Even if I have to give up on my cerusing finish. I still do want this desk to have a flat top. Even if that means it needs to be painted instead of stained. Thanks for all of the wonderful advice. I will definitely be following you in there for future.

    @lukefitt56 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Good job. I have seen some good results using wood filler rather than drywall spackle because it reacts differently to spray paint. Learned that lesson a month ago. I would recommend using regular roll on paint as well because it tends to blend better so maybe spraying your primer coats then rolling on a top coat

  • @maple9326

I am repairing my laminate floor where the particle board is protruding out and this video is great to help me. But I am uncertain what to use after I sand it properly and drydex it - not quite sure best way to seal it ala with the spray paint. My laminate in other smaller places was repaired quite nicely before I bought my house - so, not quite sure which sealer or paint type to use. Thanks!

      It’s water-based… not the best choice for particle board, pressed wood, mdf, etc. He used spackle, which is kind of okay, but you might consider using a solvent-based primer or shellac under the spackle to ensure there’s no additional swelling. He does use an oil-based primer over the joint compound to seal the table top and create a barrier protect it from any moisture penetrating the particle board in the future.
      Bondo would work perfectly fine with a coat of dewaxed shellac under it. You can find it at the hardware store in aerosol or brushing form - it’s Zinsser Seal Coat. Shellac adheres to everything, and everything adheres to shellac.
      Good luck, homie.

    How would I go about fixing my broken couch? It's particle board. Part of the frame behind *and* underneath broke in half, so it's sunken and sticking out at an angle from behind.
    I was thinking of taking the broken pieces out, drawing it on some plywood, using a jigsaw tool to cut them out, and trying to either seal it over the bottom pieces or completely replace the particle board with plywood. As for the back piece, maybe I can use some glue to reinforce it back together, and staple plywood over that particular area?
    I've never done woodwork, so I'm ignorant to this lol.. I do know that you need special screws for particle board, which is why I'm wondering if I should or shouldn't completely replace the very bottom where I sit with plywood. I am wondering if it's best to glue the broken particle board together and use the plywood to reinforce it in order to use the correct screws, like I would with the backside? Or is it possible to completely replace the bottom with just plywood?
    If I'm able to replace the bottom particle board with plywood, how would I be able to screw it in to the particle board (to attach to the rest of the couch)?
    Any good tips for dummies would be appreciated, lol. I'd like to salvage my couch, and also doing it myself would be a great skill builder that I, as a mother, can pass down to my son.

    do you think this method could work on particle board counters? My house is old and the contractor who installed the laminate didn’t seal it correctly, so the laminate is peeling off. It looks terrible, and I was debating on attempting a diy on the counters after removing the laminate. any thoughts? Thanks for the super helpful video!

    Is it possible to seal a new veneered tv stand for example so that this won’t happen?
    If so what product and method works to protect it from damage?

    What about injecting epoxy under the laminate where the board has an internal void, letting it soak a minute, and then clamping hard until the epoxy sets?

    Why oil based Kilz if I may ask? I am a bit confused because they say to paint furniture to use water based paint & minwax polyacrylic as a sealant. However I've heard people use house paint on furniture.

    Question for you, if the damaged particle board has an unpleasant smell, would sealing, priming, and painting get rid of the smell? Or is it there forever? Whatever spilled on our desk really stinks😩

    • @chriscraft2
      @chriscraft2  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      all you can do is set it out in the sun until it dries out and the smell should go away. is it like a wet musty wood smell or like a nasty poop 💩 smell?

      The B-I-N shellac based primer is supposed to seal in smells. It’s a little pricey, but might work for what you’re trying to do!

      Tan wash it with a medium base color. Rustoleum antiquing glaze in a dark color over that - one direction, not too thick. Deck staining brush to blend and create grain appearance. Whisk broom to pick up excess glaze. Optional pale yellow dry brushed over the glaze to give depth and dimension. Durable top coat to finish it off. K thx bai.
