How to repair hairline crack in hardwood exterior door?
My brother has recently let a house to some rather pernickety folk.
The front door, 6 panel hardwood, has hairline cracks through two of the
panels. The cracks are dead straight and obviously where the glue joint
between the two boards has failed when the timber shrank.
Cracks are less than 1mm in width. No way to fit a sliver of wood in the
gap.
New tenants are moaning about this and want a new door. This to me seems way
ott.
I was thinking of mixing up some fine sandings (of similar colour) with pva
and possibly water then applying this to the cracks. Clean off and allow to
dry. Then lightly sand as reqd and apply matching finish.
Do you think this is a goer or have any alternative suggestion?
Thanks,
Nick.
