I have a narrow but long crack in a wooden front door. What would be the best way to get this into the crack?

In this case simply place some tape over the crack on one side of the door to prevent the filler from being pushed beyond where it needs to be and then fill the crack. Then once it cures, remove the tape, sand of the excess from both sides, and finish with paint or stain as desired.

I agree with others. I filled woodpecker holes in the barn, so I went over the one third inch per application thickness. I would use a test scrap of wood for practice. work fast because it hardens fast.

I agree with the advise from others but if the crack is very thin where you don't think you can get the Bondo into it I often will dilute a water base glue and pour it over the crack letting it seep down deep into the crack. Be sure to tape off the bottom of the crack if it goes all the way thru the door. Then I will Bondo over the top but be sure not to fill the crack to the top with the diluted glue. Let the diluted dry, I usually wait over night, before filling the crack with Bondo and sanding. Good luck.

Buy a 99 cent plastic putty knife - work the Bondo in; let it dry and then sand it.

You don't mention how wide or deep the crack is but... I wouldn't apply this thicker than 1/4" to 1/3" at any one time. So if the crack is deeper than that mix up enough filler to fill to that depth using the edge of a putty knife to push it into the bottom of the crack. Let it cure and then apply another layer. Repeat until the crack is filled. After the final layer has cured, sand off the excess. This assumes of course that the crack is not still growing larger.

Just slide the door on the back. It can be a little hard to slide. Put your thumb on the little door and push down word. Good luck, some of those are hard to open.

We never had to get that far, however I would try adding a crushed ice and water mixture then pouring it in to the water fill door opening, but carefully so you don' spill ice water all over your flooring and make a mess. I hope this helps you,Thanks,Jeff

Typically, anything made of metal will do this until it is "broken in". This can be done by seasoning it with oil and heat or just using it a couple times. What type of wood did you use?

I had to use a hammer and a long metal punch to get it out. It is the only way I was able to get it out to install a door stop without damaging the finish.

I placed thin cardboard shims on the door portion on some of the hinges to help the door with closing flush with the face molding. I also need to re-drill most of the holes.

If you fee around the front panel on the bottom; there is an indentation. Just push from the bottom and pull slowly but firmly. You will hear some cracking that's nonormal do not be alarmed. Be careful and mindful of the front panel connectionns; and enjoy the experience. Best of luck to you &#128516;

I'd try emailing the seller on here but doubt you'll get too far with that. Maybe try caulk/jb weld good luck

No chipping should be required on thin cracks. If you don't have a lot of cracks, you can mix half of each part of epoxy on a piece of cardboard and save the rest. Best results may be achieved by letting the epoxy set up for 10 minutes. Otherwise, it may be runny and you will over fill areas and have to sand excessively. This stuff sets up very hard so a power sander is recommended. Small cracks will be best filled with a flexible steel putty knife taking a small amount on the end and forcing into crack, then scrape excess off. There may be some shrinkage after it cures for 8-24 hours and you can mix up a little bit more to fill any of those areas. Then sand down to level with your slab and you're ready for finish epoxy or paint.

Mine cracked and I used duct tape but eventually water got in so I had to replace it. If it's a small crack you could try super glue.

Just fold the door to the open position and either tape it open or use small piece of wire and twist it against the bar that best keeps it open

Check out YouTube for video instructions. A putty knife will loosen the liner and the interior frame granting access to the door screws.

I don't believe this will fix a crack, might very temporarily work. Just follow the directions on the bottle to the T.

Just run it inside the door frame, and without pinching it. Hooke it back up and your ready to go

A plastic welding epoxy putty would work better if it is a crack in the plastic.You would want to roughen up and then clean the area first before you seal it over.

You could get a bumper and then slide it down into the crack. If that doesn't work them return the mattress and measure the crib and get a different mattress.

I installed this in a 3/4th inch board and put a frame around the opening. I used a piece of half inch thick pine board and cut 1 inch wide strips to make the frame. This made the opening thick enough to screw in the cat door.
