Millerzconstruction Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 The Bottom of this door was completely rottin. About 4 inches of it I repaired with bondos new wood repair and filler. It worked really good. Then I used a Roto zip to make the small decorative groove on the edge. Sent from my LGAS995 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 How well do you think that will hold up? Is that bondo flexible at all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I've only used it twice. Once on a sign repair and the door. It's really hard. But I left some room under the bondo were it was rottin below the threshold. We will have to see how it Does. I'll see it twice a week. It's at the church I go to.

Millerzconstruction Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 How well do you think that will hold up? Is that bondo flexible at all?The more I think about it. It seems like that bondo was a little flexible. Not much though. It was about just lik wood would be. That would be the best way to describe it.

99_XC600 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Looks great. I would think that it would be fine. It's nowhere near the hinge area so it shouldn't be stressed too much. Did you use a straight edge when you did the groove or freehand it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I had to replace part of the door jam on my front door. It looks like crap but its all I could do at the time. I'm not really in the mood to replace it yet. The wood they used was a step above balsa It's crazy how bad some of the wood manufacturers use in some products 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 one question with the roto zip why not cut a straight line above rot and just replace with new wood? only reason I say this is now that you patched it up in the bottom corner anything that caused this rot in the first place may get behind the bondo and make things worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I caulk around it. And people at church's don't want to spend any more money than they have to. So it was fixed for 8 dollar's instead of 20 or 25 dollar's. It's better and stronger than it would have been another way. And looks better too. And the bondo makes a good seal to keep Any water from getting in. The roof dosnt have enough over hang. So every time it rains it splashes And blows rain in the corners. And it is a 213 year old church. And I didn't get paid to fix it. Now we don't have to worry about the splashing and gathering water rotting any wood. LolSent from my LGAS995 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerzconstruction Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 And I would have used a oscillating tool to cut the frame if I was going to cut it all the way. To replace it. Or a skill saw And Finnish the cut with the oscillating tool or handsaw. Sent from my LGAS995 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
