Hi everyone… happy Tuesday to you!
Yesterday I was in the hospital for a minor out patient procedure. Thankfully the procedure was only exploratory and the end results – perfect! Yaaay… one more thing off my mind! Although the sedation drugs they administered were a wild-ride while on them, I’m feeling a bit wiped out today. Soooo, Quick-Tip-Tuesday is going to be short and sweet. But I promise, it’s still a real gem when working with Bondo, Wood Putty, or Plastic Wood to repair missing pieces of your furniture!
When using ANY type of filler to re-create a corner or straight edge, clamp a smooth flat piece of scrap wood sprayed with WD-40 under your repair.
WD-40 is an excellent lubricant that prevents fillers from sticking…and makes it easy to remove once the Bondo or Wood Filler is dry!
I’m milk-painting this piece now (she’s going to be mellow-yellow-gorgeous!), so I’ll share the full details on this wood-leg repair in my next post!
Do you have any Bondo or Filler tips when repairing furniture? I love all your comments, questions and suggestions so keep ’em coming!
Catch last week’s Q-T-T here – and if YOU have any tips you’d like featured on the SI Quick-Tip-Tuesday-Series, feel free to send me an email!
Enjoy your day and have fun with your next project!

Seeking your opinion: What product would you use to glue back the dovetail joints of a dresser drawer? I tried wood glue With clamps and it didn’t hold.
Hi there! A good wood glue should do the trick if all the old dried glue has been sanded off and your working with bare wood. That said, this Liquid Nails product is heavy duty but it does take 24+ hours to dry.
Hi I just found your site I hope you are still blogging. The pictures and tutorial is wonderful.
Hi Palma and WELCOME! Still blogging and still at it. 🙂 Hope you drop by again. xo
Hey,howdy everyone!
The article was good and what makes it better is the fact that yo u post pics of the work. Keep it up!
There is one thing that I’d like to add and is more of a caution that needs to be respected.
Bondo is flammable and therefore you should keep it away from hot surfaces, flames, sparks etc.
We, at Austin Furniture Repair advice people to take special care while using these things. Hope you find this tip useful
Very useful…thanks Nicholes!
Thanks for that tip, was not aware of it, but will,use it for sure!
I’m glad everything is ok with you! Get some rest and take care of yourself. Xxoo
Thanks so much Sally! x
