I'm prepping the doors of a bathroom vanity for painting. The oak veneer has taken a lot of abuse, is chipped and split. However the inside door surfaces are pristine condition so I had the bright idea of turning them inside out. However, to achieve the paint finish I want, I have to fill the holes where the hinges were. I purchased some wood hole filler that from the outside of the container appeared to be color of some sort of wood. Silly me. All it is is good old joint compound. When I filled the holes, I noticed that the screws have left the wood uneven, with raised edges around the circumference of each hole. When I sanded the patched spots, the raised edges are very visible. What can I do to create a smoother surface to paint? If push came to shove, I could apply some trim around the perimeter of the doors before painting them and give them a new look.:wallbash:
