kaleidoscopeliving.com

This DIY door repair method is perfect for filling holes that are left behind if you change your hardware  You can also use it to repair large rotted areas because the product we used can be shaped and molded.

Materials needed:

– Epoxy Putty Stick – A leveler card or old credit card – A small dish of soapy water – A sharp knife – Sandpaper

Mix a small amount of liquid soap into about 2 ounces of water.

STEP 1

Cut a small piece of your Epoxy Putty Stick off and knead it with your fingers until the color is totally uniform.  You will feel it getting warm in your fingers. If it starts sticking to your fingers, dip your fingers in the soapy water and continue to knead. 

STEP 2

Once the color is totally uniform, push the epoxy putty into the area you are repairing with your fingers.

STEP 3

Use a leveler card or old credit card to remove any part of the epoxy putty that protrudes higher than the surface of the wood. 

Allow the filled area to cure for at least 20 minutes. Surfaces may be sanded, drilled, stained or painted after application. And the epoxy putty surface is even harder than the original wood!
