Wood – How to repair a chip in partical board table top

repairwooden-furniture

I got this table from IKEA, and it was delivered with damage in it, unfortunately I did not recognize it as I had to check 10 packages but this is another story.

As you can see in the picturedamage in the table there is a part that was chopped away.

How can I fix this?

Is there a way I can do it WITHOUT cutting (since I do not have the tools for it)?

NOTE: The Swatch is there for a size reference.


UPDATE
I've managed to get a similar product and filled the crack with it. I'll post the results tomorrow 🙂

UPDATE 2:
IKEA replaced the table after 9 months because of my rigorous phone calls and complaints.

Go to Home Depot or Lowes, in the counter department, pick up some white SeamFil, a putty knife and both some coarse (80 grit) and some fine (220 grit) sand paper.

Sand out the gouge, apply the SeamFil and use the putty knife to smooth it.

After its dried, sand with the fine grit sand paper.
