Hi all, I do think I read this somewheres but, search didn't bring me to an answer.
With these fake wood press board cabinet doors, filled in grooves and sanded looks great BUT yeah always a but,,,,,
the edges are horrible i have used super fine sand paper, and a primer but they still look "flaky" hmmm searching now for a better word,,,,,, bumpy,, rough,, unfinished ah ha that seems to sum it up best,, they look like they are rough unfinished edges,,
I am poor lol and can't afford to really do what I would like after looking at prices of cabinets, and since this is only eye candy and not something like my roof or windows that I will spend $$ on
any suggestions????
Thanks BK

I tried that and I can't seem to get the bumps all off so looks "odd" I have severe arthritis in hands so this is also a draw back for me
Depending on your skill level you could just make new doors. A good quality 1x pine is not too expensive & easy to work with. You would need to glue it up to get the width and finish the edges with a router, $40. if you have to buy one. Greg

Not sure what product "Fill" is but have you tried using either "Bondo" auto body filler or a two part (stinky) epoxy wood filler ? Also, are you using a power sander? A small finish sander is not very expensive and should produce a smooth surface.
Going to have my son stop at bro house and get me a hand sander and hopefully this will come out all smooth lol oh sometimes I am so funny *if only to me*
Hi,
I used a product called Elmers Carpenters Wood Filler. It was easy to use. Just follow the instructions. Sanded real well with a palm sander. It is for interior and exterior use.
Personally unless you are real good with bondo I would not try that application...but you are certainly welcome to try.

The difference between success and failure is who gives up first!

Hi ,
This can be found at Lowe's, LOL, don't remember what aisle...hmm, I should know where more things are than the help!
While you are there pick up a cheap plastic sheetrock knife, less than a buck!
