I've been making up drawers for a shop cabinet out of melamine-faced particleboard. I've had a little blowout from the brad nailer in a few spots because I used too long of a brad.
Any suggestions for a cosmetic patch? I thought of using white caulking, but is there anything better?
Mr Fixit eh
A good paint store may have melamine patching compound, specifically made for this. Colors can be mixed to match any surface melamine comes in
You betcha:
Nobody ever left footprints in the sands of time by sitting on his butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?
That has NEVER happened to me, but if it had, I would have used a bit of Bondo (white) autobody filler and white paint from the craftstore. Peel away the chunkettes, and fill hole with filler. after it sets up, wipe away stuff around the hole with laquer thinner, then use a match-stick to dab a wee bit of paint onto the dried filler.... it flows out nicely and dries to a similar finish as melamine...or so I'm told.
rGoogle the words (name) Kampel SeamFil.

Read all about it in Fine Bondoing Magazine, I suppose?

Sadly, when I called Lee Valley, they report that the white particleboard filler has been discontinued and they are all sold out.
Kampel makes a 2-part epoxy called 'Woodfil' in white, and Famowood makes a white wood filler.
Has anyone had experience with either of these products?
