Yes. The current plan is just to lay down a thin layer pf rigid plastic or metal so that its flat like before.

You have to be 18 to post here

you can fill it in with any number of pastes, then sand and paint. bondo, liquid wood, drywall spackle, etc.

>>1006902
Well, since the desk is clearly made of shit, glue and cancer disguised as wood why not just fill it in with some bondo? Do it in layers and then sand it flat.

>>1006914
This. We prob hav the same ikea table, or maybe I have the big rectangle one and you have the small square one. I had the same problem, used plaster, sanded it, painted over. Still holds, looks like shit.

It also cracked on the bottom. Any ideas on how to repair this? This part isn't nearly as important, but I'll see what I can do about it.

Clipboard board cut off with a dremel

>>1006922
Wouldn't that be too thick?

Cut some plywood in a square enough to cover the main part. Screw on top of 2 2x4s, put plywood face up toward underneath of desk with 2x4 from left to right. 1x2's can also work.

This will add stability and strength.

Pick out any loose pieces.

Fill hole with wood putty agent. Apply in layers for quicker drying.

Sand, paint, etc.

Razer mice are terrible.

Also from the thumbnail i though the crack was a snake

Please do as this guy says, which is the right way, you faggot. Also, grow up and stop being physically violent, fuccboi.

Why did you even bump this shit thread? OP is clearly a raging manchild who beats up his furniture when someone on the internet is better at something than he is. Furthermore, his question for how to fix his fuckup has already been answered, and quite thoroughly at that. Best to just let this bitch slide down and eventually off the last page.

Get a sheet of masonite (hardboard) or thin MDF, get the nice man at the store to cut it to size for you, glue it over the top of your desk and spray it black, it might not be pretty but it will be better than what you have now.

On a side note anon, first learn to control your anger, it is one of the signs of a man (not a man/boy) that he knows when, where and how to show and release his anger, secondly stop buying shitty furniture, cheap furniture is a poor investment and never stands up to normal abuse let alone fits of anger, go buy an old desk at an auction, it will have more character and will last way longer than Ikea shit, my desk was built in the 1890's, it cost me $60 bucks at an auction because it was dirty, after a good clean and a (very) minor repair it is now worth double or triple what I paid for it, whereas your desk even if it was in prime condition was/is worth almost nothing the minute you took it out the box and assembled it.

>ikea desk
buy a new one
its not worth fixing

that or melamine, even if it has to be two boards

Try to find a matching part in ikea as is.

>>1006902
For a truly flat surface without seams, I would get a fiberglass mesh and Bondo at your local automotive place, sand it down with a power sander.

But practically, I would replace the surface. Ikea stuff be cheap.

op just bondo it and sand it down

>>1006902
You can't accidentally punch something you rage filled cretin.

>>1008924
>Ikea stuff be cheap.
Because it's shit, it's a false economy buying cheap furniture.

>>1008794
Not a terrible option but Masonite is cheaper and the smooth side will look just as good after painting as the melamine would.

>>1006902
Want it fixed? Go have your mommy buy you a new one.

>>1008722
This is what i was thinking aswell, the time + material cost to fix it would surely be higher than just getting a new table.

>>1009364
To be honest iþ would probably be cheaper to buy a new ikea desk-top that to fix it.
Here in germany they cost like 10-20€, depebding on size

>>1008722

America! FUCK YEAH!

>>1006902
Use self-leveling concrete

I feel your pain, OP. I have the same shitty Ikea desk, except mines obviously a little older than yours because all the shitty paint is worn off on mine. No one thinks "Oh, I should probably not hit this piece of shit desk because it's cheap and HOLLOW" when they're upset.

Should just buy a new, better desk.

>>1009997
You probably should stop being a 16 year old and hitting anything when you're upset.

>>1010021
Actually, unlike OP, I'm not usually violent and quick to breaking things. The hole in my desk is the result of three months of bottled stress.

God dammit. I don't have the patience for all these summer fag posts. Forget Forever September. It's Forever June.

>>1010050
A similar thing happened to mine at work.
It was damaged by something falling onto it, and I just kept picking at it until it got really large.

Cheep shit FUCK YEAH!!!!

For a long time i had an IKEA coffee table. Was cheep but got the job done.

When it broke i was not going to put time and money into fixing a $10 coffee table i got of creigslist.

Instead i went out and got myself some nice wood and made my own. turned out nice. used my lathe for the legs and my router to put fancy shit all over it.

Though i want to make one like this for my man cave someday.

>>1010050

>unlike OP im not violent
>i just bottle up my rage and let it loose in one temper tantrum

If people want to hit things when they throw a hissy fit why not set up a punching bag in the garage or basement?

if you do it with a plastic or metal plate make sure you put a good spring under it
then you can punch it way more often than once

>>1006902

Cut the hole out in an easy shape. E.g square.

Cut a piece of material (Clip board was a good idea as someone else suggested) just a wee bit smaller than the hole.

Put it in through the bottom and use gorilla glue, superglue, jbweld or whatever to glue it in place with smaller strips (Just use the scrap) connecting to the filler piece, and the main top of the desk itself (bridge the gap with the "brackets.")

Fill in with wood putty or bondo or shit if you didn't cut it and the replacement surface clean enough.

>>1006902
what is you budget anon?

This.

>>1010307
*your budget*

Lol, it's not even solid wood.

>>1006902
Lmao tell me this is bait

>>1010050
And exactly how does that not make you a 16 year old throwing a tantrum?

>>1006902
you bought a desk made out of cardboard.. what did you expect?
>mfw I was just starting to think idea wasnt really that bad and maybe made good stuff
>mfw this thread two days later

>>1006902

I've put fold pizza box pieces and taped it afterwards

Just make a new desk. With real wood.

>>1006902
Easiest fix would be to buy something like a blank door panel from Home Depot and just rest/screw it into the desk on top. It will look kind of weird but will give you a nice flat service instantly, also the doorknob hole can be used to route wires in the back.

>>1006913
Exactly what above said...

Live with your irresponsible impulses. But definitely continue to invest into gayming gear :)
