Door Repair
Updated: February 2, 2012
As you can see, this door has been badly abused. There's a big dent
over here. There's a ding right in here and a whole bunch of little
dings over here. Now this is a metal door and a lot of people who have a
metal door that's been abused think the only way to take care of it is
to buy a new metal door. We've got a less expensive and very easy way
for you to take care of these problems. The first step is to start
sanding. Now the compound we're gonna be using is a two-component
automobile body filler called Bondo. And the second part is a hardener
and we'll just squeeze a little bit out of this. Wanna mix it up real
good. You wanna be sure you work it into the dents and also feather it
out about an inch beyond where you sanded here. And, give it about 15
minutes. Well our compound has hardened. Now we're gonna sand it off
with a finer sandpaper. Be sure you wear a mask because you don't wanna
breath this stuff. Now our next thing we need to do is to put a rust
preventive primer over all the bare spots where the metal is showing.
And we're using a spray, aerosol spray, because it's a lot easier and it
doesn't leave any brush marks. Well our projects are finished and I
think you'll agree you'll never be able to find these bad places,
particularly when we get a coat of paint on this baby. The beauty about
this is, that is cost us under 30 bucks. Now think how much it would
have cost to buy two new doors - a bunch.
