How do I fix a hole in a hollow core door. I know there are biscuits for this but I don't know how to use them.

hollow core door

A hole in the door, like someone stuck a chair leg through it. Biscuits are oval pieces of plywood to repair the hole.

You will need something to reinforce the patch, but trace around the biscuit and cut into the surface with an X-acto knife to make a matched seat for the biscuit. You culd probably glue some biscuits underneath as a support and set the surface biscuits on them when the opening is cut. After the glue sets, sand smooth.

Not exactly the use for biscuits that the inventers of them had in mind, but if it works, who are we to argue??? ;-))

Condensation on inside

ducati1212 on Oct 01, 2003

I have read through some old posts and see that this topic has been covered a little but let me ask this anyway. I have recently installed vinyl replacement windows in my house in one room the inside of two windows gets condensation on them. Now I live in the north east and it is getting cold out. Inside temp was chili because the heat was not on yet and outside has been cold and wet. Is this normal moisture or did I perhaps not install the windows correctly..??Read More

I want to replace an interior door (bathroom) with a pocket door to gain more usable space. Can you only install a pocket door into new walls or fit them into existing walls? I do not want to tear up the "bedroom side" of the wall. The whole bathroom is going to be remodeled so I don't mind tearing up the "bathroom" side of the wall. Little Help Anyone?Read More
