Good Cherry Cabinet Door Repair / Downtime Successful!

I received this to repair a cherry wood cabinet door. I put aluminum heating tape (no tape but you should use aluminum for the ducts) on the front of the good side and taped it very well to hold the glue and prevent the epoxy from seeping through the cracks in the area leaks in which I did the repair. I then mixed the epoxy and heated it with a hair dryer to make it more liquid. I then used several very fine-tipped syringes to force the glue into both the loose joints and the cracks. I reheated it to make sure it spread throughout the rooms. This will also help eliminate air bubbles and allow more adhesive to enter the crack/joint. I then clamped them. It has open time long enough to pour all the glue in, use the dryer, and attach the clips. I had my braces ready. And first I did a trial run with clamps. I waited until the next day to remove the braces just as additional insurance as it takes 24 hours for them to fully heal. I had to do this twice to get different stains but it worked like magic. My door is stable and secure. I will certainly use it for other repairs. I'm almost invisible from the back as I used masking tape to mask the areas I glued leaving only thin cracks where I applied the glue. The tape really hides it. The tape came off fairly easily when I removed the clips, but um, depends on the surface. It was expensive, but I didn't want to risk a cheaper product and ruin a door that goes with all the other doors. Be careful not to overheat, just to the right consistency. Lots left for other projects.

Pros
  • Epoxies
Cons
  • Very Expensive
