wtf

pls explain how you manage to turn the holes into such a state.

Putty and Paint make a carpenter what he Ain't

It'll look like shit no matter how carefully you patch it, so hide it behind properly installed shelf secured to a wall stud, or replace panel

>into such a state.

those "wood panel walls" as OP described them appear to be cardboard.

OP. hammer the high points below flush, or shave them off with something. Get all the trash flush or below flush. Skim with joint compound but not a huge fucking mountain. Fold a piece of sandpaper and restore the grooves. Use some ingenuity and you can restore your "paneling".

And like he said, place the shelves to obscure your work if it sucks visibly.

what's behind the shitty fiberboard panels?

you can never skim that cardboard shit smooth after you fuck it up. find the nearest proper stud to mount the shelves and extend them over to this shitstain and perhaps cover the back with some 1/8 ply you can paint or stain

It's not 'cardboard', it's hardboard...like the stuff used on clipboards...
Best way to repair is bondo, applied thin, then work with sandpaper to define pattern...

Only proper way to repair that shit, save fore replacing the entire panel, would be to cut out the strips running vertically along the recessed seems.

Then replace that portion with new strips. Used painters putty along the new recessed seem and paint.

Then tell your wife to never fucking touch anything or you'll chop her hands off.

>wood panel walls
calling those walls 'wood'

Jesus fuck.

Im guessing the shelves are Pinterest gas pipe shit shelves? Why do people never think to find a goddam stud or use the proper anchor? That shit on the wall is "was wood", basically thin MDF or Chip board. How close is that shitshow to a stud?

that's called "wainscot". you can get a 4' sheet for like $10 at home depot to replace the damaged part. just don't tell your brother to take it off the wall while you run to the store, or you'll have to replace the lower half of the drywall in your entire kitchen.

Its cheap bead board...replace it
