I have an exterior hollow core wood door with a couple of holes punched thru
the skin. The holes are about 2 inches wide and 3/4 inches high. The door
permits access from the carport to the back yard, so it doesn't have to look
perfect.
Does anyone know of any tape or something simple I can use to repair the
holes before I paint the door? I don't want to replace the door just for
two little holes.

Thanks! Peter


Sure. The trick with most of these repairs is to
make the repair a decoration. Put a 4" x width of
door minus 2" masonite over the holes. Or
depending on the positions make three or four
3"x4" blocks and put them in a decorative pattern.
Attach with contact glue or just use yellow
carpenters glue with weight. Paint the blocks
before you attach, if you aren't going to paint
the door, or paint after you attach if you will
repaint the door.
