Need your help with cabinet repair.

Would bondo actually work for this though? The dark spot on the left side of this pic is actually a hole that goes through the wood.

cbmeeks:

I wouldn't bondo that much.

What I would do is get a square piece of wood about that size and trace around it and then cut it with a jigsaw.  hopefully you could find a piece thin enough so that it would match.

I would also counter-sink some wood screws and glue to hold it on.

I'd cut the whole CP wing off (with a nice straight edge) make a replacement and attach an internal support - say a piece of 1x4 to both the wing and the cabinet.  You'd only have a seam to putty that way, though you'd have to route the grove for the T-track in the new wing.

I'm not sure how much the CP catches would interfere with this plan.  You might have to re-engineer them.

Surprisingly enough, Bondo WILL work for that much missing cab.   Just leave the t-molding in place and fill it in.  When it turns kinda "rubbery" lightly rub the surfage with some 60 grit sandpaper and rough it to near flush with the height of the t-molding.  Leave enough there so that when it sets up overnight, you can sand it smooth and do a final fill.

You can also do exactly what others have mentioned and just cut it off completely and reattach new wood using biscuits or dowels. 

I have a Space Duel cab with PERFECT side art that has lost this exact corner.  I will be doing the above mentioned procedure to it and then try to patch a piece of white vinyl to it to cover the base color.  That way, the only seam is on the vinyl and not the structure below...

Good luck, let me know if I can help in any way!
