Spackle or Bondo? Painting perfect kitchen cabinets

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Apply a substantial, heavy coat of Crawford's Interior/Exterior Spackle to all large knot holes and other significant voids present on the cabinet doors. Use a putty knife or trowel to ensure the spackle is firmly pressed into the imperfections and a generous amount is applied to provide enough material for subsequent sanding, creating a solid, stable base. This thick application is effective for large areas due to spackle's minimal shrinkage characteristics.

Goal: Fill major defects with spackle

Tools and materials

  • Cabinet doors N/A — The items being repaired and filled with spackle, Crawford's Vinyl Spackling Paste Crawford's

What they say

to when you want to use them but if i was to try to fill this whole with bondo glazing putty it's probably it shrinks a lot so it's probably going to take at least three coats to fill this hole so i don't want to sit there and wait around and fill sand fill sand so i'm going to start off by backing it with crawford's interior exterior spackle i really do like crawford's interaction or spackle for doing my initial fill it's a great product it dries really hard it sands really fast but large stuff like this one coat one coat of spackle is what we're gonna be doing i'm gonna trowel it on there those big holes and put a nice heavy coat of it on there so it actually fills them and we have something to sand now there is smaller
