Let&#8217;s talk furniture. I&#8217;ll be honest. Normally when I see a furniture piece from a thrift store or at a yard sale, if it&#8217;s MDF I happily go on my way. I don&#8217;t mess with that stuff. I&#8217;m normally a solid wood gal all the way but when I saw this console table at a Goodwill for only $12 I had to look twice. I knew right away from the damaged top that it was made out of MDF but I loved the size, lines and most of all the price! So I thought <em>what the heck! I&#8217;ll just take the top off and plank it instead.\u00a0<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">I certainly could have planked the top and it would have turned out great but I never make things easy on myself. I decided I was going to find a way to repair it and if by some rare chance I was able to repair it, I would get to share the awesome how-to with you lovely people. Damaged MFD furniture is a dime a dozen it seems and that&#8217;s why I thought this tutorial would be so handy.

First, I started by taking a sharp razor knife and cutting the top of the bubble off. Once you do that, you&#8217;ll see all the cardboard goodness. I decided the most durable and easiest way to patch it was to use Bondo. In order for the Bondo to adhere I had to scrape out some of the MFD. I used a small putty knife to do that. You don&#8217;t want to dig it out too much, just enough for the Bondo to sit inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetaleofanuglyhouse.com\/img_7662-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5593 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7662.jpg\" alt=\"How-To Repair MDF Furniture \" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7662.jpg 630w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7662-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 630\/420;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">You can pick up Bondo at any home improvement store.

I tend to over do it, as you can tell by the photo. It wasn&#8217;t the smoothest but it got the job done. Once it&#8217;s completely dry, an hour or two later, sand it with a fine grit sand paper until smooth and even with your top. I did add a second layer of Bondo after I sanded the first time. There were small cracks that were not level with the top. If that happens to you, skim over the top one last time with Bondo and repeat the last step. Just like that the damage was gone! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Now for the fun part, the paint! I could have painted the table white and called it a day but I really have been enjoying using antiquing wax on furniture and crafts lately and decided that was the look I wanted to go for. Remember you are still working with an MDF piece so your paint choices are limited. I lightly sanded the table all over with 150 grit sand paper to give the paint just a little something to hold onto. I used chalk paint which is recommended when painting MDF furniture. I went with a color called <span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1OkPp9S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Timeless<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetaleofanuglyhouse.com\/img_7682-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5595 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7682.jpg\" alt=\"How-To Repair MDF Furniture \" width=\"630\" height=\"945\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7682.jpg 630w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7682-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7682-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7682-300x450.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 630\/945;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">After I had applied two coats of the chalk paint I painted on a <span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.michaels.com\/diy-home-wax-artminds-8oz\/M10401864.html?dwvar_M10401864_color=Clear#q=ArtMinds+Wax&amp;start=3\">liquid antique wax<\/a>.<\/span> The liquid wax leaves your brush strokes giving the illusion of wood grain. I loved the look so much I decided not to work the wax in or rub off the excess. I brushed on the dark wax all of over the table, brushing it on just like paint. I let it dry completely over night.
