I'm installing a garbage can drawer-pullout in my RV. It used to have 12" wide trash compactor in the space, that died. Nobody is now making a realistically priced 12" trash compactor that I could replace the old one with. My solution was to remove the trash compactor and replace it with a simple garbage can that rides in a pull out type drawer. I need to make a cabinet front for the front of the cabinet drawer. All the other appliances (Refrigerator,dishwasher,microwave,sink faucet,) are Stainless. I built a door front out of 3/4" plywood and glued a stainless front panel to it. My problem now is the 3/4"edging I planned to glue a Stainless edge along the border, I plan to use a 3m stainless tape. My problem is the edge of the plywood is not completely smooth, its rippled. I would like to use a filler to fill the cavities in and then sand to a smooth Finnish so the edge tape will not show any imperfections. What would be a good filler that will adhere to the plywood end grain and be sandable to a smooth finish? | ||

Sanding what you have would give the best finish. Pull the stainless off and sand the dimension slightly smaller than the stainless so the edging is not proud. That said, I use J-B WELD Epoxy Putty. | |||

The stainless front panel is glued down with contact cement, it ain't going anywhere now. I will get the JB. Thanks. | |||

When I took the mortice lock out of my 1920s row house front door and jammed in a Dutchman patch of sorts, I bedded it in the JB and made it puffy sticking out. Smoothed it with a slick credit card, then waited. It took three days to harden nice enough for sanding but a week would have been better for full curing. The label says nothing about cure times, just "paintable within an hour". https://www.jbweld.com/product...mium-epoxy-putty-kit https://americantoolbox.files....2014/09/dscf0316.jpg | |||
