Bondo wood filler, applied, sanded and painted, is usually what my
painters use to repair those type areas in doors.

Hear that Karl? Apparently you're a clown...


Nah, it's Mr. Non-Cents that's the clown.

His video response is an apples-to-crocodiles comparison.
Be MUCH better to prime the bare wood and sand the solid paint down
to match the level of the primer, then repaint to match. Polyester
filler is not designed for use on wood.


Then why does the manufacturer call it "wood filler"?

Because he found he could sell it as such because people were using
their auto-body filler on wood. Doesn;t change the fact it's not
really designed for wood.


That is like saying that Honda's are not designed to keep the driver dry
in a rain storm since they originally built motorcycles.
