To plane a door edge and seal!

WHEN A DOOR STARTS STICKING IN THE DOOR JAMB YOU WILL HAVE TO USE A PLANER. START ON EDGE OF ONE END OF THE DOOR & STOP ABOUT TWO INCHES FROM OTHER END. START OVER FROM OTHER END & DO THE SAME UNTIL THE DOOR FITS. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, YOU WILL TAKE BIG CHUCKS OF WOOD FROM THE ENDS OF THE DOOR.
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS SEAL OR PAINT THE EDGES OF DOOR BEFORE INSTALLATION....OR THE DOOR CAN WARP! SWELLING CAN TAKE PLACE DUE TO HUMIDITY IN THE AIR. SEALING TAKES AWAY THAT POSSIBILITY!

LET ME KNOW HOW THIS WORKS OUT. ROG

CUTTING DOWN CABINET

WELL HELLO THERE..... JUST FINISHED A TOUGH JOB. MICROWAVE CABINET WAS TOO LONG (36"), SO WE HAD TO CUT 6 INCHES OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE CABINET TO GIVE US ENOUGH COUNTER HEIGHT UNDERNEATH. WE SECURED THE SIDES OF THE CABINET USING METAL STRAPPING MADE OF DRYWALL METAL STUDS & GLUE. WE USED SHORT METAL SCREWS TO FASTEN IT FROM THE INSIDE SO THAT THEY WERE HIDDEN FROM THE OUTSIDE SURFACE. LOOKS GOOD AND JOB IS DONE. ROG

(note: This occurred when the owner had purchased the wrong size cabinet before we were hired onto the job!)

FOR YEARS. NEVER HAD ONE PROBLEM. IT DRIES FAST, SANDS EASY. YOU CAN PAINT
OVER IT IN MINUTES. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE FOLKS, IT IS A WINNER.! 40 YEARS OF
USING BONDO IT NEVER FAILED ME. ROG
