<p>[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 125801, member: 993"]Well... the RIGHT way would be to follow the good advice above, but... here's a very Mexican solution... I once used Bondo (I sculpt with it sometimes, so I'm familiar with it) to fill in a huge gouge and a crack extending out of it... on an old chest of drawers. I carved and formed a faux surface to match the wood (ya gotta work fast; it dries quickly), and then painted the whole thing. I really thought it looked fine. Sorry, I know the furniture experts are cringing now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
