Door lining repair

[Jupiter01]

This frame is damaged and I’ve cut a chunk of the damaged section out using my multi cutter.



Can I find a decent chunk of wood (not too flimsy) and glue in using Stixall? This will allow me to put some blobs of adhesive underneath and level the wood flush at the top. I can the use two part filler on any gaps.

Finally, I can sand it all and drill in holes for latch and plate.

Would this work or should I be doing this differently?

That's what I would do, much like your last one. How did that turn out?

I would use two part epoxy wood filler to fix wood to wood. It can be sanded down if necessary

The last door frame repair was quite different I thought, because I replaced most of the vertical section. I will post pictures of that repair in the associated post. Thanks for reminding me as I intended to post an update.

This repair feels more asthetics as it just needs to take the latch and striking plate. There isn’t much strength required and that’s why I was asking if I can use the adhesive blob to level the piece of wood I will position in this gap.

Like a Ronseal 2 part part filler?
I was intending to use this on top to fill any gaps/imperfections. I thought the blob of adhesive to stick the wood piece to the existing frame will allow me to position the wood piece so that it is flush at the top.

I'd have glued and screwed it into position then used the ronseal to fill.

I use timbabuild but any decent brand should work. I wouldn't trust wood glue on a door frame thatis subj3 t to mechanical forces from a handle and latch

Is the filler acting as glue in this situation?

As an epoxy, like car filler, more powerful than the fibres in the wood

Think I'd be looking at a router to clean that up and an expanding urethane wood glue, with screws to hold it firm

Is 2 part necessary in this situation? I find it difficult to mould and flatten out. Regular wood filler is easier to work with. Something like a toupret wood filler. Let me know your thoughts please.
