Then fill the area with the same epoxy thickened with their high strength adhesive filler. After it hardens, drill out holes (where the hinge screws go) for hardwood plugs and epoxy the plugs in. Veneer over if needed. This repair should be stronger than when new.

<BR>Terry,
<BR> That sounds like a great repair. I've never ordered from West,which epoxy do you like best,assuming they have more than one variety.
<BR>Thanks much!
