    I have been a General Contractor pushing 40 years, like every other contractor I would have laughed and said there is just no saving particle board. (If it's wet like a sponge you can't even power dry it with a professional dehumidifier).
    But! my floor-to-ceiling particle board divider between my custom tile, cabinets, and refrigerator bubbled up and I am not remodeling the kitchen until next year. So seeing your results I thought I have nothing to lose and went for it.
    Sanded out all bubbles (raised surfaces), scraped/gauged out all crumbly material, sanded to 80 grit, and then skimmed with quality wood putty. Sanded to 120, primed with 999, sanded again, and instead of sticking the decorative vinyl tiles over the damage as my wife planned. She took one look at it and broke out the chalk paint.
    I was sure the putty would just pull off when sanded flat, but it held, so I know I am going to get more than a year out of it.
    Kitchen Remodel postponed - Bless you :)

    In May I broke my arm. Sadly it resulted in my radial nerve not responding. I ended up losing my job where I was making six figures. So I can no longer type or play piano, I am a musician as well..... But I started watching videos on furniture flipping and it turns out if I wear my brace on my hand I'm able to do a pretty good job at it! I am really excited to start this journey and I've already sold a couple of pieces. It's proof that even when life throws you down you can stand back up and fight.❤

    Great Job. This is a common problem with MDF window sills as well. One trick I use is to drill out drill out the swelling and patch it with a filler. I sand the filler when dry, scratch sand the rest, and go through the same procedures you do. This saves a lot of time in sanding, creates less dust, saves money on sand paper, and makes your hands last longer. Again, great job and great advice.

      @skyhawaii5446 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@amber_Forever16 If it is that bad, throw it away. It will not be worth your time and effort. You can find sold wood furniture at thrift stores, the salvation army, good will, on the side of the road on large trash day, and from friends who are looking to downsize. Run from mdf products. In my case, I have to make repairs from time to time as it is installed in door jams, trims and window sills when I do paint restorations. Best of luck.

    I repair furniture and I like how you approached the swollen MDF top. I have not used that approach for a repair as most want the top to remain the same, especially if it is a set piece. You have given me some food for thought about future repairs.
    A couple of suggestions for future flips.
    When removing the swelling from pieces, you may want to try a sharp chisel. If you lay the back of the chisel flat against the surface, you can shave off the swelling prior to sanding. It wont be perfectly flat, but this will reduce the overall time needed to sand.
    The other suggestion would be to use heavier clamps when gluing damaged corners. Harbor Freight has some inexpensive F-style clamps that are perfect. Additionally, sandwich the broken corner with a small piece of melamine on the top and bottom. This serves two purposes. First, it gives you a strong surface to clamp against without damaging your workpiece. Second, any glue squeeze out wont stick to the melamine. The heavier clamps will force the damaged corner back together better and may eliminate the need to use filler.
    Thanks for the video and the ideas for future repairs I may encounter.

      In this video I show how the top edge of the dresser had gotten wet so the MDF had become separated into thin layers. I showed how I glued it together, filled it with wood putty and then sanded it. I don't think I showed the "after"photo. But it ended up looking perfect- you cannot tell at all that I repaired it.
      I recently did a chest of drawers with the same problem on the drawer front. The link to the video showing this is th-cam.com/video/OVHl4lz5n2w/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your kind words!

    Thanks for your video! I’m working on flipping a side table and it’s made out of particle board/ MDF (don’t really know how to tell difference) and it was some water damage at the bottom and some wood fussy. Everyone one keeps recommending shellac based primer for MDF water damage rather than water based. I already have bulls eyes 123 primer and was hoping to use what I already have. This is the older video I came across that has used water based primer. Does using water based primer leads to swelling in the MDF?

      It is a ryobi battery operated sander. It is connected to a small inexpensive shop vac.

    I'm not into furniture flipping, but this is a BIG help! My bedroom furniture got damaged while moving. It's made of this stuff and it was NoT a cheap set. I cringe at the thought of replacing it but now I have options 🙃
    Tyfs!

      Hi Niccole. Thanks for watching. If you watch some of my videos you will see that it is really quite easy. I roll or brush the paint and finish on so it is something you CAN do inside with a drop cloth under the furniture.

    I have a particle board nightstand and the top layer is almost gone. I can see the particle board more than the "wood" layer. Can I sand, primer, sand and paint? Thanks!

    You know, on those tops, you could use a router to reshape the edge pretty easy too. Just find a router bit that is close to original shape and zip around edge. Great work and is nice to see something avoid going to landfill. Someone will get a lot of use out of that and you can make a few bucks for tour time. Thanks for video!

      Thanks Indiana- I have a router but have yet to learn how to use it. Thankfully, I did not damage the edges so I did not have to dig out the router manual and learn how to fix the edges.

    I just started a table today. The corner is swollen above and on the bottom of the trim piece. It has laminate on the top. So if I understand you. I should remove trim and sand the table till flush with the res tof top and bottom. I can round edge.

    In this video you recommend water-based primer under the chalk paint. However, I noticed in your chalk paint comparison video, you recommended oil-based primer to prevent bleeding. So, if you did the project again, would you use water or oil based primer? Thank you!

    This video is very helpful. I have a question. What would you do if you want to stain it close to the original color verses painting it? I damaged my night stand by not using a coaster and I’m trying to repair it. Thanks

    • @FurnitureFlippingForProfit
      @FurnitureFlippingForProfit  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi TL. You cannot stain particle board. What you see as "stained wood" is a laminate top with a photograph of wood. I just put out a video about "Liquid Wood" You could actually paint Liquid Wood on the top of a particle board dresser and then stain it. It looks like real wood! Here is the link th-cam.com/video/VW7rORdQSxw/w-d-xo.html
