Ruined furniture and cabinet hinges? Make up for it in an instant with the carpenter’s trick<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know those  damn holes in the wood of furniture or cabinets<\/strong> ? The ones that form  on the hinge and<\/strong>  make it unstable? Who has not ever found themselves in the situation of having to call an expert to repair them, otherwise the door will be so unstable that it will break?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has happened to all of us, and if we are lucky enough to have a husband, partner, father, brother who is passionate about DIY, then we have taken advantage of their help and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, if we are equipped with good manual skills, we have tried to repair it ourselves, sometimes successfully, sometimes  stumbling until we capitulate and end up asking a carpenter to intervene.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it reveals a phenomenal trick to be able to restore a piece of furniture with a hole, without spending a penny or almost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curious? Begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruined furniture and cabinet hinges? Make up for it in an instant with the carpenter’s trick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t matter if they are simple holes created over the years or real craters due to the hooks on the hinges. It’s very easy to fix with the carpenter’s trick!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get some glue and a roll of aluminum foil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the appropriate tools (screwdriver, wrench, pliers, etc.)  Disassemble the cabinet door<\/strong> , then  remove the hinge<\/strong> , leaving the main hole free. Clean all the holes and fill them with glue<\/strong> . Let  it settle<\/strong> completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then unroll a sheet of  aluminum foil<\/strong>  and  cut a strip the size of the hole<\/strong> . Use it as a sample to make identical ones, the number depends on the depth of the hole, adjust accordingly because it will be the aluminum foil that  will act as a cover for the hole and solve<\/strong>  the problem, accommodating the screw in such a way that it no longer loosens in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push the first strip all the way in, then make more and more layers until it’s completely covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now proceed to reassemble the hinge and insert the door back into place!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
