Hi all
Whilst prepping the inside of my customer's front door I noticed lots of cracks where the panels meet the rails and styles. On closer inspection I discovered that the beading that provides the rebates had been back filled with two pack filler. On removing the filler I discovered why...
One of the panels has shifted over to one side, leaving a 2mm gap between the edge of the panel and the moulding.
If I use my oscillating saw to cut through the paint seal between the panel and the mouldings, inside and out, will it be possible to slide the panel back, or am I just wasting my time?
This is the door
A close up of the panel and the middle style (you can actually see light shining through the gap). The bare wood is the moulding after sanding.
The door is about 110 years old and at a guess, pine.
Thanks in advance
