How to Use Auto Body Filler to Repair Damaged Wood | Tips

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to repair damaged, nonstructural wood molding or trim on your home by filling the damaged area with automotive body filler, or Bondo as it's known.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eventually, every home will have some damaged wood. Perhaps it’s a porch column with a little water damage, or a door jamb that had an ill-timed meeting with a piece of furniture being moved. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For minor damage that isn’t a structural issue, one of the best repair solutions is to fill the gap with automobile body filler.
