Now, how do I repair this on my cab ? [5 pics]

(1/4) > >>

Mamezilla:
I got myself last year an old beaten up cab, which was a Gravitar cab that has been converted a few times, and on which unfortunately the side art has been destroyed. 

I noticed that one of the corners on a side was broken and chipped.  Since the only product that was available at my local hardware store was plastic wood, I thought I could use this stuff to fill all the voids, scratches, holes and the broken piece of the corner.  After letting the stuff harden for a few months (i didn't have time anyway to touch it before), I've tried to sand everything down but the results are not satisfying.  The stuff on the filled scratches just went away, and what was used to joint and fill the broken corner just broke down, so I'm back to square one.







What should I do next ?  Any suggestions would be appreciated, since for now I'm a bit discouraged at this outcome, and my woodworking skills are something near 0. 

BTW, I'm in Canada.

Hello Mamezilla,

i started with woodworking (control panel) a few month ago, only a few month expirence, but what i would do is crate a new wood plate very thin and glue it on top of the old one, this
way you would have a good base to fill the missing rest
The best thing would be throw the old damaged wood plane out, and create a new
from scratch, i know more work, but good things takes a while ;)

bondo.  just slap it on, let it dry, sand to the contour you need or want, and re-cut the t-molding slot.

Mamezilla:
Thanks for your replies.  Is Bondo available in Canada ?  Is it the car body repair putty, or the wood filler you are reffering to ?

Also, would this stuff stay on deep scratches in the wood, or sand away ?

Bondo will work just fine.. the car repair stuff.  You'll just have to re-cut the T-molding slot as mentioned.
