    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/25445"&gt;@EricL&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;, I haven't used that product, nor done any work with aluminium surfaces.&amp;nbsp; Your&amp;nbsp; suggestion sounds like a good way to go with it, so I will do that. Hopefully I will have some repair photos to share fairly soon, but will have to wait until the current storms are passed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The dog that gouged them is now deceased (natural causes, not related to the door gouging. She was a highly skilled scratcher &amp;amp; communicator of her wants), but those gouges have been annoying me for years and I wasn't sure of how to get rid of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Our previous dog gouged deep scratches into our stacker doors out the back, trying to get in when we were out. Tough claws! (Did she use a file?). There are bits of aluminium sticking out at the ends of some scratches. Does anyone know how to get the surfaces smooth again without introducing more scratches! I would like to repaint the frames, but not sure how to to prepare them first. (I have included photo a sample of the scratches.)&amp;nbsp; Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="IMG_20210703_112435.jpg" style="width: 2448px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/29955i894AB94485A7B9EE/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="IMG_20210703_112435.jpg" alt="IMG_20210703_112435.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/12068"&gt;@TedBear&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;You have a very strong dog to manage that kind of damage on the aluminum frame. Because of the bits of aluminum sticking out you will have to sand it with a sanding block and fine grade sandpaper between 400 to 600&amp;nbsp;to get a clean finish. Once it has been sanded and there a no more bits extruding from the surface, I suggest washing it very well with soap and water to remove all contaminants.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I recommend using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/pc-11-56g-white-epoxy-paste_p1560098" target="_blank"&gt;PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste&lt;/A&gt;. It makes an excellent filler and is sandable after it cures. Once you've repaired the finish all that's left is to repaint the frame.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I suspect your dog is after a scratching pad and has found your door frame to be ideal. You can build him one with a piece of 300mm x 600mm MDF panel and glue some sandpaper on it.&amp;nbsp; Once you introduce it to your dog as a scratching pad they will go to it instead of your door frame.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Please keep us updated. We look forward to seeing the fixed panel.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Eric&lt;/P&gt;
