I really can't see how you could possibly make your videos "better" when they're already great as they are. You are very clear and thorough, and you cover every detail while explaining everything that any idiot could understand. For this video on fixing baseboards, (which I thought was VERY informative), I really appreciated, especially, your tip of using the wood glue as a "primer." You are a very good teacher!! Thank you!!

As a painter, my trick is instead of glue just use a good white primer. Wood filler or some spackling like Dyna Patch and use a putty knife to build and shape the corner. A sanding block will give sharper edes, then don't forget to prime again before paint.

You can put pencils and popsicle sticks into the sand paper for sharp inner profiles. Also try sticking sand paper to pieces of wood with double sided tape, works great. You can also stick the backs of sand paper to each other with double sided tape, which makes your sand paper stiffer but it stays still flexible.

I use the same technique, wood glue. But I mix it with some USG 5 minute "hot mud". The USG uses heat (via chemical reaction) to cure, that added with the water and the wood glue soaks right into the wood/mdf. It's super easy to carve, sand, file, and cut in detailed trim details. It's very durable, and handy to have a bag around for many other uses. I use masonary primer like Loxon from Sherwin William's, it seals everything up and your ready to top coat.

Thanks! I live in a 1901 house with period trim. Finding exact or similar trim is impossible. The sanding tip makes so much sense. When you sand back and forth, that requires multiple build-ups and sanding which is maddening to get right. This simple tip and the way you put the glue down first and sand unidirectional has me walking around sticking painters tape identifying all the trim that needs proper repair. There have been times my Dremel has come in handy to shape hardened filler details but a steady hand is needed. Thank You!

I use a utility blade to run along the profile to help shape the patch , it requires little to no sanding, .. you can also use the blade to lightly scrape the dried patch,.. rinse and repeat until the profile is perfect.
@WHJeffB 2 роки тому
Or a 1" putty knife to shape the wet putty... All that matters is reducing the amount of sanding required to get to the final profile. For more complicated contours... Buy some epoxy putty. Lay a thin layer of Vaseline on an undamaged section of the trim molding. Mix up the epoxy putty and lay it over the area you "greased" with Vaseline. Make sure that the material covers enough of the contour to give you a good representation of the full cross section. Hold in place with some painters tape until set. To use, apply a thick layer of patch onto the damaged area, then use the hardened epoxy to restore the contour of the trim into the fresh patch. Let dry, sand and repeat if necessary.

Unfortunately I have a lot of experience here with a parrot that has an appetite for chewing on baseboard, sills and you name it. Get something like a "Warner Sanding Block Hand Sander, 34436A" otherwise relying on your fingers to create straight and sharp edges is impossible. That sanding block has a lot of the edges most people need for this type of repair. As far as wood filler I really like Sherwin-Williams. Anyway great videos and excellent tips! 👍😎

Just did this same repair for a friends house while patching walls. Smooth out the wood first like you had. Next fill with compound and use putty knife to drag with the profile of the grooves flat across vertically. I wanted to fill another round, but did it within an hour with a few visits as I passed to check for dryness and then sand, prime, paint. Now it may take another hit and not hold up as well as your wood putty, but if I repeat the repair I’ll use the putty and my blade technique. It makes it easy to match the profile and leave less guess work out of matching the profile with the sand paper. Nice job there.

You get the second cut mitered and coped right. You go to install just to realize the thing is an 1/8" to small and you still gotta fill one of the corners.

excellent repair. I take a little different approach. I make a tight contour on a thin piece of cardboard to match the baseboard profile, and then use a liberal amount of Powergrab adhesive, or caulk on the corner. Then I pull my cardboard across it starting from the corner inward and sort of squeegee the wet material in to the proper shape each direction. I developed this technique after being rushed through trim jobs over the years, where the end product would be painted anyway. Helps quickly repair miter cuts that were hard to get right when the builder left the corners out of square, or a horrible mud finish.

Thank you for this. I thought it would be a lot harder. My fiancé and dog will be out of the house this weekend so this would be the perfect project for me to fix where dog chewed on corners.

Thanks man love the videos, you’re great. They have been a big help with all the little touch up projects before we put the house on the market.

When sanding the very fine details, I pull a piece of sandpaper taut over the edge of my flat bar. Good tip on the glue first. I do that before painting MDF end grain, never thought of doing it on repairs.

Kyle Thanks for the tip on MDF end grain. I can never get the paint to adhere real well. I also use Rust Oleum oil based gloss white on my trim to get a shiny hard surface when finished and it just sucks right into MDF end grain. PPG just came out with a new trim and door paint called Breakthrough that is latex so i'm looking forward to trying that next time.

I would tell her to get a bottle of white out and call it a day. This dude did more housework in one episode than my bf does all year!!

Thanks I ran across this video right on time. I hate ugly baseboards that I’ve recently noticed and Missoula relieved 😅 to find out they can be repaired rather than replaced. Thanks fir sharing. Jan Tn

I thought I was the only ocd person who did this type of thing! It appears I am not . I spent all of December repairing dog chewed corners and window sills. It was oddly very satisfying.

Absolutely!

Hint- Use a thin cyanoacrylate glue on the raw area instead of alaphatic glue-It will wick in like a sponge and make the wood super hard. Also dries instantly.

Cyanoacrylate or c.a. glue is better know as super glue, for those of us who might not deals with TDSs and SDSs all day long.

For a sharper, more uniform repair of the shape of the base boards, there is a tool called a contour guage. Take an imprint of the good section of the base boards and then cut that shape out on some hard trash plastic (I use the plastic from a clam shell package from some bakery cupcakes). While your wood filler is still wet, use your piece of plastic with the same shape as your base boards cut out to smooth it in the same shape. Go from the middle of the board to the corner.

@@saje007 I have 4 cats and one of them was brutal on the bathroom door trim as a kitten. I used the contour guage method like decorating a cake to make it look nice and repaint because I couldn't find the matching trim pattern anywhere. Eventualy I am going to replace all the trim in the house with smooth board style trim in hopes that it is easier to clean. I hate having to take a toothbrush to clean the groves where people put their palms while leaning onto a doorway.
