I need to fill in screw holes in an exterior metal door. The door gets *extremely* hot in the summer. Would this be the right product?

Yes. Fill the holes, let the Bondo dry for 24 hours, sand with an electric sander, and you'll be ready to prime and paint.

L., I would actually go with some J.B. Weld on that exterior door. I believe they make the quick drying still, and then the regular. I think the quick J.B. Weld sets up in about 4 minutes. This drys like metal and you can sand it and paint, etc.; afterwards. Also, I suggest the Steel Putty (it's less messy). There are several different brands of the putty available. I've never used the Bondo Plastic Metal on bigger projects. I probably overuse J.B. Weld, haha. Is that possible? It's the new duct tape.Thanks!

You are not allowed to make a hole or you don't have the right tools? I used a small cordless drill to make small starter holes for the supplied screws to go into on the steel door I installed this on. Otherwise the only thing you could do is use some really strong glue and clamps. Something like epoxy or E6000.

I was sealing brick steps to my front door last year. I put 2 coats on the steps. We had many weeks of ice, snow with temps in the lower single digits for 3 weeks at a time. This year it has been very hot and humid and these steps are in the hot sun until mid-afternoon. The product is still working since it is absorbed into the brick. Brick surface must be clean and dry before applying. I power washed my steps first and let them completely dry. My steps cover a very big area. You can try some and see if it will work on the brick you have!!! That's what I did and it worked for me!

I would recommend metal, it does get quite warm but I never have to worry about it melting and it works well on thicker fabrics/coats.

Yes. All it takes is a little "elbow" grease. I suggest start the application process when it's cool outside(early morning).

Go to the company's website... they were able to tell me that my door would open to (between) 70 and 90 degrees. They're really helpful.

Yes. I installed mine as a porthole in an exterior door of a beachhouse. The door was 1 3/4 in thick so I had to buy longer ss sheetmetal screws.

no the outside of the door would still be hot,this tape is meant to reflect heat away from a heat source to protect what the tape is put on like wires and stuff.

I used it on the door that goes to my basement with no issue. I didn't think it was made for exterior doors to begin with.

I welded up a good bit of aluminum for an RV door fabrication project. Use straight Argon gas and aluminum wire. Run it hot and fast. Took some practice and online research for techniques, but I eventually got really nice welds with good penetration.

It would seem to me that this will work fine. I used this successfully on an exterior stucco wall to mount a mail box. They key is to use a 1/2 inch drill...the round type. This way the drill bit edge will not get caught in the expanded metal lathing.

I'm presuming the reference is to a non rated insulated metal doors. If otherwise, ensure that it's not compromising any fire ratings if such is the application.There shouldn't be any problems from the pet doors ability to accommodate. Just the cutting of the door will require a different blade, and the gap between door skins will be marginally increased. The through bolts might be long enough and if not, any good hardware store should be able to supply the correct length bolts(machine screws).

I don't know that that is the best idea because the material is a little light. for an exterior door you might want one of the plastic door guards that you attach to the bottom of the door, hanging down.

Holds screws probably better than wood! Yes it smells and need to apply in 5 minutes. I wouldn't mess around with less hardener especially if you want it to hooks screws.

i installed mine in a metal door with no problem. used the template included with the dog door to outline the cutting area and bolt holes on my metal door, took my time and made a good cut with a circular hand saw and the dog door fit perfectly and bolted in snugly. my wife then used a clear all-weather caulk on the outside edge to seal out cold air.

I have used Hitachi Exterior 2 in. X .113 in. 21 degree round head nails and Grip Rite Galvanized 2-3/8 in. x .113 in. 21 degree round head nails in mine and they worked great.

well I applied it to a door to an outside porch, without a strorm door, and it's fine. It is on the inside, the heated side of the door, so it's a different application than what you're thinking of, but I think it would do fine. It's not expensive so I would try it. Good luck.
