Rot is wood cancer.

The plan is, to sand it away and then fill it up with putty.
I should have treat it better.

It's cool you're trying, but best tip i can give is to not waste your time on a old rotten peace of MDF.
Get a chunk of decent wood, something sexy like maple. And than just make a desk out of that
This Ikea garbage wont do for more than a year or two. It's frat-house and stepdad furniture.

I don't like it too, but I don't have money to buy some good wood. So far, I just want too keep my old desk alive.

I sanded the plate and mixed the dust with clue and some water to get my own kit. I think it will take till tomorrow to harden cause it's under 10°C in my workshop.
If it's not good, I will buy a putty in a market.

I'm a step dad and I use old ikea crap. I live in a college town so twice a year I see piles of broken mdf furniture out on the curb. If it's in good condition, like a student tried to move it but it disintegrated on them so they tossed it, I'll take the big pieces. As long as it's still square and flat I like to make jigs and sleds and stuff from it. I have a few desktops laying on the rafters for storage. One more big piece and I'll have enough to build a sealed pantry in the garage for kitchen overflow. I don't use it for furniture but it is still useful.

I've found that the secret to moving ikea crap like closets and dressers and shit is to wrap a ratchet strap around it and cinch it down tight. It'll keep it nice and square when you move it. It's the racking and twisting that makes the self-disassemble.

As I sanded the plate today, the selfmade putty made it's job okay, but not very good. So when I was at the market, i bought putty and paint.
I still don't know, what to use for the edge protection.

Additional, when I was at the market, I found this little Lithops and I could not resist to buy.

Who else had to Google "Lithops" because they thought they were looking at a shitty homemade fleshlight?

Ive been to a garden store before. So ive seen them before. What youre seeing is just a normal biological pattern. Why is a soap bubble round? Kind of stuff.

I'm kinda proud.
Doesn't seem so bad at all.
For the edge protection, I had the idea to take a plastic edge, make it warm and then try to fit the shape.
