I'm about take my circular saw to the front edge of a Ms. Pac-man cabinet so I can add in a plywood replacement piece. The original "point" has been worn down over three decades were people grabbed the cabinet as they were playing the game.
I'll be using my good cabinet as a template and will cut a spline and glue in the replacement pieces on both sides. (Then probably spread wood filler into the seams).
I also intend to use wood filler in the areas where there is missing veneer at the edges.
Now I know that wood filler tends to shrink and I usually have to spread some more in after drying, but I was curious if anyone here has experienced any shrinking issues more[b/] then a couple weeks after application?
Bondo is too much of a pain to work with. (At least the Bondo-Glass that I have). I do have EVERCOAT Metal Glaze, EVERCOAT Metal-2-Metal, but have never used those products before. (The EVERCOAT Formula 27 I have hardened in the can).
Thanks.
