What's the best product to fill the carving in old cupboard doors?

GwenH

Hi fellow DIY'ers!

I picked up this old cupboard for free and I'm hacking into into an entryway mud 'room'. I'd like it to be modern and so I've been trying to fill the carving in the doors and drawers (the ones I'm keeping). So far I've used Builders Bog, but I'm wondering if there's another product that may be more suited..?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @GwenH. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about upcycling cabinetry.

Builder's Bog is likely the best product to use. You're almost there with that one, you just need another skim coat and sand. Alternatively, it might be less effort to cut up 3mm MDF or plywood to the same size as the doors and drawer and stick it to their fronts. You could even get a bit fancy and use VJ panels.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
