This is how every repair tutorial on TH-cam should be. Quick, to the point, no fluff, obviously from an experienced person, covers everything you need.
Thanks buddy. Hopefully there's just enough info there for people to take on the repair themselves.
Agreed!
Agreed!
Exactly. Perfect from start to end.
Not only how, but WHY he does it that way. That's an important part of a how-to for me.
Why did I watch this?
1. I just got new baseboards.
2. There are some imperfections to fix.
3. This is a 4-minute video.
4. Super clear and concise video.
5. No unnecessary chatter.
6. Practical help.
Thanks!!
Bondo tip from car guys. Don't stir the Bondo, fold it. Stirring introduces air causing pin holes. Not that big of a deal but it can save a few steps.
Good tip.
I’ve been doing renovations for 20 years and I’m going to start making TH-cam videos and throwing a little comedy in there as well. It blows my mind what people do not know.
These are so useful. First time owning a house or renovating one is a universe of random shit and tips and problems that’s mind blowing
I know nothing lol. I have quite a bit of things around my house that need fixing. These videos are great!
I loved this format. Nice to see every step while still in a shorter video.
Glad to hear!
I agree. This is probably some of the best editing I’ve saw with these types of videos. As all said, right to point, yet still great steps and info between and no fluff to fill time. 👍
If only every how-to YT video was this concise, informative, and devoid of ego. Learned a lot in 4 minutes.
That dribble of filler on floor ( next to the paper) is driving me bananas. He never wiped it off. Probably gonna leave a spot on the hardwood
Saw that too. lol
Yeah, I like how he was careful and sort of excessively masked the wall, but had a tiny newspaper for his work area and didn’t even setup the bondo over it and got a drip.
You are the Tidiest worker I have ever seen - you give ‘clean as you go’ a new meaning! This is great, thanks!
I have used regular bondo to repair wood. If you compare the safety data sheets between regular bondo and the wood filler version, they are essentially the same. They both have styrene monomer (which is polymerized to polystyrene plastic with the peroxide hardener) and talc. A bit of titanium dioxide is added for whiteness. So you can save money and just buy regular bondo. It will work. Great video. Really enjoy your channel.
Thought the same as soon as he said hard to find. In Canada, that phrase means it costs more then the thing you're fixing.
I appreciate the info, thank you
By ‘regular’ do you mean the Bondo painters putty?
@@Avital4414 Bondo "filler". Putty usually refers to glazing putty so no.
Most outside house painters do
Love the videos youre putting out. Relevant homeowner repair tutorials that don't drag on and on for nothing.
Now to be as efficient and skilled as you...
Thanks buddy
Seems to me being organized helps. And taking the time to do proper prep work. The coat of paint can work miracles but you have to do the prep that doesn't show so that paint looks flawless. Like installing a zipper when constructing a garment. Take the time to smoothly baste the dreaded zipper exactly where it needs to be before going to the sewing machine. I do not like hand sewing *at all* but I learned that my results were much more professional and I rarely had to tear out stitches and start over. So I hand baste my zippers before topstitching. I don't dread sewing in zippers anymore, either.
Bondo's automotive filler works just as well and is available everywhere. Comes with flexible spreader that cured filler peels right off of. I've even used it on exterior siding that had a pressed woodgrain texture. Before fully cured, drag the corner of the spreader or putty knife through it to replicate the grain pattern in the surrounding area. When cured, knock the peaks off and clean up the depressed grain pattern with a sanding block and you can't tell it was ever there.
Thanks for passing on some knowledge
And most importantly it’s much cheaper.
We used the auto Bondo in professional furniture repair.
I saw an armoire that had a crushed side and leg…forklift booboo.
Once the repair technician was done you couldn’t tell at all that it was repaired. I really looked at it for imperfections. Dark stained matched and everything.
From then on I knew to inspect the interior of furniture. 😂
Yup, I've used Bondo automotive with plywood boat building.
Actually not a great idea in this location. While it is good stuff the odor is horrendous and I have had many complaints. There are other reasons not to use it
Absolutely amazing. I too love the short, and to the point, videos. Thank you.
I love this stuff. It was very useful for my baseboard when it got damaged from having furniture moved. Works great! I even keep an extra tube of the cream hardener in my nightstand.
Wow! You are saving me mega bucks. My puppy chewed! Repairs around here are so pricey. THANKS!
Best wishes on the repair 🍻
Very smart use of the two filler products. Bravo.
Immediate subscription! I love this video and checked your other videos and guess what? They’re awesome too. You are a man’s dream of TH-cam tutorials sir. Bravo! 👏
Thanks buddy, hope the tips are useful🍻
I wish all TH-cams were as helpful as this.New Subscriber 👍🏻
Wow, I love the clear and hands on explaination. Thank You !
Excellent video, thanks for posting. I am actually going to need to do this soon for a job, and I wasn't sure what the best approach was.
WOW! GREAT Tutorial...VERY DETAILED and to the POINT! U ROCK!...FYI AMAZING WORK!
i just used bondo wood filler a couple days ago for the first time and LOVED it. It;s so easy to sand and so smooth and takes paint great. You used WAAAAAAAAY too much hardener. That's why it hardened almost instantly. It shouldn't be blue when you mix it up, but more of a very pale green. Keep up the good work!
I thought the same.
Body filler is the best friend of paint grade carpentry projects.👍
Amazing, thanks for doing this despite it being throwaway work, great to see real world fixes that work.
Great tutorial, short and to the point! Thank you!
That was a brilliant idea,the process was tedious, but the results were amazing
I pretty much did this exact same repair today repairing a door jamb. Except I use Crawford's as a finishing spackling since it sands easier than any other spackling. And I use the shellac in the beginning to seal things off as well.
Thanks, this was great. I just suscribed. Love that you're to the point and provide great info, instructions, and tips.
Thanks for the sub!
This is why I switched to PVC baseboards. Great video
Excellent video, well done. Nice to see and flow like a charm.
Thank You! I need to do the same in some parts of the house. It came at a good time.
i have been doing this for years on my outside corners . works great for crown molding also
Excellent repair , going to see if i can get some of that Bondo in the UK.
Great video . Thank you for taking the tone to show us this 👍
Excellent work and great method, thanks!
I’d just buy a new home
😂
😂😂😂
Exactly what I was thinking 😂😂😂
Obviously. I mean.. who would try even doing that?
Just bought a brand new home and here i am
Combo of wood filler and bondo, I like it!
yes this changes everything....from now on my life is cleft in two separate parts.... the part before and the part after I saw you Bondo a baseboard
Here here🍻
I wish the Bondo Wood Filler wasn't so pricey, but yes this works great and I guess I should prime my repairs now. You demonstrated it so well, and I am glad to see you are using Festool, too.
Regular bondo is usable on wood.. says right on the container
I really enjoyed watching this!
Excellent Job!! Great Demo!
Awsome guide, fast and easy!
This man makes it look easy. If I tried that the base board would be looking more jacked than when I started.
It would likely take me a few hours to do.
Excellent. A helpful video that is succinct.
You're like the "Trim Whisperer". Great repair.
Professional decorator here and you made hard work of that mate.
Try using the Quicksteel wood epoxy, it comes in a pinchable amount that you can roll up and mix, also use a bit of water on the putty blade to get a smother application.
Bondo is good stuff. Solvent-based plastic wood in general is all I've had success with, especially on exterior repairs. Non-solvent filler is just crap across the board; it cracks, it shrinks, it doesn't adhere very well, etc.
Thanks for making and posting this video. My rescue dogs chewed the doorframe when I left them home alone. Looks awful, but now I can take a fair stab at fixing it. Thank you.
Often when I come into these repairs on fiber board I usually use something flexible to fix it like fast drying caulk, my method is to use a good knife wider than the repairs and add the caulking heavy over the area, use the knife to shape the material to the contour and it may take multiple coats to fill deep gouges, but the advantage to using caulking is if someone hits it again it won't just fall back out it has some give and flexibility.
We have a filler here in the UK called Tetrion filler. It’s a 2 part filler that dries between 10 to 20 mins depending on temperature and how deep the filler needs to be. comes in 4 tones but white is the best one as it takes all sorts of paint extremely well and sands back great too. Nice video. 👍🏻
If I had done that repair, guaranteed to have pulled a bit of the wall paint off removing the masking tape, no matter how delicate a tape I used. 😂🤣
Надо использовать старую малярную ленту или самую дешевую. Она плохо приклеивается и легко снимается, можно феном для волос погреть
This is so easy I love it!
Merci beaucoup. J'ai les mêmes plinthes chez moi, celà va beaucoup m'aider 😉 Thanks for the trick !
Very well explained.
So beautiful ! 👍
That changes absolutely everything 😉
Mmmmm...fiberboard baseboards. Yum-yum🥰
I use epoxy daily. Best stuff for repairs. I use the two knife method as well. I use it also in many other types of repairs as well. Getting awfully expensive lately though. But gotta have it.
Excellent! Subscribed.
Love nme some Bondo! Great fix my dude!
The tape didnt pull the paint from the wall! Bloody amazing!
Excellent work
Impressive very nice job
Awesome result! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for the video. What was the grit thickness of the sandpaper you initially used before applying Bondo?
Looks Great!!
Perfect!! Thank you
Perfect video. TFS
Wow you work fast
Great tip Funny Man. Thanks
Great job 🎉🎉
Love the videos!
5 min drywall mud works well too and often easer to work with than the bondo.
The green banded stuff right? It can be really hard to sand, but get it really close the first time and it's harder, I think, than Bondo.
Great job
Looks good 👍
Fantastic Thanks! 🙏 👍👏
Thank you for this video, I really needed something like this. I've found white baseboards seems to be of worse quality of traditional wood ones, or at least they deteriorate much faster
Never understood why anyone would use MDF baseboard? MDF is fine for crown molding, where there's little chance of damage after installation.
Cost. Try buying 700ft of wood baseboard vs MDF.
Cheap. I see it in bathrooms and wet areas. Awful.
@@Longtack55 Never had a problem with it indoors. Crazy tho I’ve seen it on exterior trim.
Another tip from the car guys. When using bondo, theres a moment as its drying that you can shave it down quickly with lower grit sandpaper to get most of that sandable material out of the way before it completely dries
О! Отличная идея!
The hardener is benzoil peroxide. Industrial strength zit remover.
Nice job. It will be great "until" the next time junior is asked to vacuum! :)
well of course it’s fast at 3x speed 😅 bondo fixes everything (edit: nicely done, sir, you are a pro)
Thanks buddy🍻
Can you make a video on how to repair MDF around a window (the stool cap) that has water damage? We live in Canada… why do people use MDF at the bottom of a window….? BTW I love your videos. You are knowledgable and hilarious. You are fantastic. Thanks!
I wish I could sand this quickly as it is my least favorite thing to do. But thanks for the video. I've got some work to do 👍
Thank you so much
Well done
great job!
I had no idea Bondo made wood filler!
They sell this filler at Home Depot… I use it all the time on old houses we work on. 🤙🏼
Good to know! I couldn’t find it available in Canada, I had to order some and pick it up in Washington.
Some of those houses are still standing only thanks to all cracks glued with bondo.
you are popping off on tiktok btw, keep it up!
A bunch of TikTokers just steal my videos. Pretty sad.
When spraying use a box fan and a nice filter. Will pull the overspray down
Abatron wood putty works better, costs about the same per ounce. 1 to 1 mix, easily handled like clay, 30 minute working time. It takes stain so you can match wood.
Using a walker after knee surgery really banged up the doorjambs, etc in my sister's home. She eventually kinda gave up trying to avoid them because she'd gouged them up so badly already. She had enuf to worry over without obsessing over some dinged woodwork.
I own a painting business and love your videos. Projects need to be done quick but also done right and look professional. Your methods always hits both methods.
Question: Do you prefer this two step mixing bondo vs the red bondo in the tube? I like the red bondo better because it doesn't clunk up as fast and easier to clean off tools.
What's the Dry time on the red?
I think the red "bondo" in the tubes is more of a glazing putty. It excels at small, shallow repairs and will crack and shrink on bigger stuff.
"How to do this super quick"
*speeds up 500x*
;)
Great job well done, just one thing why did you temporarily remove the painters tape at around 0.52 into the video then put it back again.
fantastic
So….you fill the gap, sand it and paint it?! Omg that does change everything!
Amazing 🎉
I would really like to learn how to apply formica laminate. Also learn to use routers correctly. I think they are an awesome tool.
