Maybe if the hole is not too big and the wood is still attached at the back of the hole - give it a try its a good thing to learn

Hello, thanks for the video, I found it very usefull because I have got the same problem with exactly the same door that I am in my flat and same paint colour too.

I was wondering what colour are you using on this door on your video. Thank you

[toucandiy]

@fatihozenFB - I was just using a semi gloss off white after priming

Or you could use a two part filler that would dry in less than 10 minutes (plus be a stronger reepair). Or don't you have that in the US yet?

We only just recently got paint rollers, but then you know that!!!!!!!!!!!!

@danzeyboy - good one, thanks for watching man :)

how do you patch a fist sized hole? cant you buy a wooden type of paper that requires u not to have to paint it????

[toucandiy]

@lukeduke711 - I do not really know of anything like that. You can put a whole new skin (that is a sheet of wood about 1/8 inch thick) on the door - not a simply DIY. - At that point you almost should just have the door replaced.

Thank you for the video. I just did the same fix but I used Lepage plastic wood it was only

$6.95 Canadian for a 235 ml can. I didn't use the screw just the fiber glass tape. Turns out i didn't even need the tape . The plastic wood stuck to the door very well and is very solid. It took less then one minute to do and looks like i may get away with only one coat.

i wish i could be able to do this with my hallow door. i punched straight through it and the hole is about the shape of a coconut and the exit wound or so is massive lol.

so much joint compound used in a day lol

nice work, but after that how we ganna paint the door to hide that white spot, i don't wanna use white paint, just wanna keep the wood color looking ? thanks for the info.

i accidently punctured the door, after getting mad.

there's more than one hole, and the holes aren't as clean as that.

it's more screwed up..

what do i do?

I love this approach. It looks doable, thanks. I have one question though. When you paint it, do you use a color or stain? All our doors are stained, and to have one painted wouldn't match.  Is there a way to do it with a nice stain? It would also be great if you could show the painting part. How do you paint a door without taking it off?
