Time is money! It the amount of time it takes to do all what you did, I could have bought a new piece and replace the entire short piece in a 10th of the time and moved on to another project. Yes, if it was a special order piece or something and all you have is a piece of left over scrap, this would work. As mentioned in other comments, use bondo, not wood filler. You showed in the first example how the wood filler shrinks and cracks out, yet you used wood filler again on the second fix….again, time is money! The more you do to have to fill cracks, wait to dry, sand, maybe have to fill again, sand….you’re wasting your money by spending too much time. By a new board, make a good measurement, cut, install, get paid. Now, on a good note though, I do like your idea of thinking out of the box on doing a splice like that. Well done, final product looked great!
Just use some white grout .. keep it simple !!!!
waste of time
waste of time
So instead of one gap, you now have two! Why didn't you just use two coats of filler in the first place? Think it thru, buddy… More trim, more activator glue and more filler. Not a good option.
I’d have just bought a new piece lol too much time bu salute
Holy crap!!!! Should went and replaced that with another pc. You just create 2 patches
Why ? 😂😂
Can you come to Dallas Texas to fix mine
To much work for one crack. Just saying
Hi there.
By mistake my mason makes a little cut on aluminium door frame by angle grinder.
So may you tell what will be the best alternative to fill that cut .
I've filled gaps by cutting a piece of 45 shim for tighter fit, it worked perfect.
Caulk
Use spakle
If you don't have wood filler, what works very good is drywall mud.
LMFAO – you went from one big crack – to TWO big cracks! hahahahaha and you don't see the irony of this video.
Really love your videos. Thank you
Too much work just replace the whole thing
Use loctite construction adhesive first then fill, sand, and paint!
I have had the problems myself, BUT after all the work and all the time spent, you just end up with two joints, instead og the one you started out with?? So I just don't get it??
Dude!! Thanks for the video. Very helpful!!
Dumbest rookie thing I have ever seen.
My god. This guy picks the hardest ways to solve simple problems. Before you post more "how to" videos, you should get some real experience and know how.
Just a little saw dust and wood glue sand paper and white paint. Fixed lol 😂
You can tape the gap and paint the tape. The same solution for gap/cracks on dry wall
So you started out with one gap that needed to be fixed and ended with have two gaps that needed to be fixed. What?
Bondo, sand, paint. Doesn’t get much faster or easier.
You Created two pieces dude what are you talking about. You did very nicely but you still created two pieces
Very good job thanks for the tip!!
This is a lot of work to conceal a gap. Replacing the whole trim would be much easier.
Use bondo. Wood filler does not work with MDF very well. Thanks for the video
This guy……..what an amazing talent individual
👍🏿👍🏿
Dude delete this video it makes zero sense.. bless you
If it was done correctly you wouldn’t have any problem
For the amount of work this takes I'd rather put a potted plant in front of it ..
My husband says use Bondo it won't crack
Lol, this is the most ridiculous video I've ever seen
THIS REPAIR DOES NOT ANY SINCE TO ME.I WOULD CUT THE CHASE AND PUT SOME DAP CAULK AND PAINT IT. TAKES TOO MUCH TIME .I DOIT ALL THE TIME.
Never see smoething stupid more then this
that painted area with those dried paint / filler leftovers and the paint marks looks bad
It just seemed a complex, time-consuming fix to the original problem. Surely there's something that could have been put in that original gap that would have worked over time. Yes, your finish looked good though but, like most things, the more time you spend on them the better the result. Sadly, we live in the 'time is money' age of quick fixes … Take the money and run.
Make life simple, buy some Ready Patch.
To be fair, the crack appeared that way due to it being MDF and the MDF sucking the moisture out of the fill. On pine baseboards, it wouldnt be that bad
No
