Hey there,
New to the forum but after some advice I can't find elsewhere...
We've just bought a 1930's house and are in the midst of renovating / redecorating throughout.
We've removed all the doors and had them stripped by a local salvage yard to remove years of gloss paint - all of them have come out really well except for one where the ply on one panel has split and bulged out.
The lady at the salvage yard suggested waiting a few more days for it to dry, then slicing it with a stanley knife and filling with glue in the hope to get it back to a stage that can be sanded.
Does this advice sound sensible / likely to anyone with more DIY sense than me?
Can anyone suggest a better approach.
Keen to salvage the door if at all possible.
Thanks
Steve
