Rock Hard makes a great wood filler that can be painted.


Yep, that's a good one, and there are quite a few other different
products, but I use the various bondo products for a good reason:

When you do it for a living like we do, instead of linking to videos on
the internet like ol mr tuppence up there, I like the fact that it would
be a rare day that you couldn't grab a can Bondo products at the closest
Lowe's or Home Depot when you need it ...

_right now_ ... not easy to do that with most other products.

On that note, it ain't like I don't know how to ****ing restore doors:

Besides the new wood added, Bondo was used to fill all the old holes and
dings:

Now, mr tuppence, show us your's ...



But the OP just said the paint came off at the joint. IF that's all
that happened there is not necessarily ant wood repair (and certainly
no replacement) to do. When panels move in mullions, depending how the
door was made and paintes the paint cracks from expansion withouit any
further damage.
