Repair Outside Kitchen Door

Looks like I will be doing the same repair as you, but only because my piston bracket on the door ripped out - due to water damage - my wood looks like the ones in your picture.

What kind of wood did you use to replace the rotten stuff? I RV in the north during the summer, but use and store it in Florida over the winter, so I'd want to make sure to use wood that is good for water, but also dry rot and insects.

Hopefully you are still checking posts. And thank you for all the pictures in your post - they will be very handy for my work.

Thanks!

I used happen to use what I had which was "Titebond Original Wood Glue".


I haven't had any problems so I am a happy camper. :)

Looks like I will be doing a similar project on my outdoor kitchen door. Realize this is a 2 year old thread but I found it very helpful!

Two questions if the OP is still around.

1. What adhesives did you use? I think I see a bottle of white glue in one of the shots?

2. In hindsight, is there anything you would do differently if you had to do it again?

Thanks!

Thanks.

Nice! Looks like a thoughtfully done job!

Putting all the parts back to gather.

Using waterproof caulking underneath and on top of the plastic patch to secure it over the hole.
