So I bought this pacman game.

Poor thing got a hole in the front of the cab. The particle board around it was broken out.

So I used Gorilla glue it tends to foam up . Great when the pieces don't fix perfectly.
This is water activated glue so putting the glue on one side and water on the other side great a very strong bond and it setup faster than wood glue.

I used several clamps to hold everything in place. While the glue was drying. It setup in an hour Less.

But as you can tell even with after the glue there still a hole.

So the next step is to fix the holes in the cable.
I use the 30 minute bondo. Yes it does leave little bubble holes at time but it binds to wood and press wood very well for something you can drill tap and sand 30 minutes after it hardens.

So what to do with the little bubble holes? Just a little plastic wood filler A light sand and we are good to go.

So just touch up the patch with a little rattle can black flat.

Just going to wait until the new wood vinyl gets shipped so I can redo the front.

Nice work.
