i am starting a on a black hole pinball i was about to put the legs on but i think this bottom corner does not look stable enough to put the leg on since part of its chipped off . is there anything i can do to fill the hole or reinforce it?

which kind of j-b weld ? ClearWeld or KwikWood? something that would be easy to fill that hole.

i did look in the cabinet and the glue block corner holding the leg looks good . yes i can see now what holds up the leg. but i will still get that spot filled in in case it chips off more. the chip is not visible with the leg but would still fix it , just in case it gets larger . waiting on some jb weld stuff to come so i will let you know how it turns out later.

i have just got done patching it. i used the quikwood putty and let dry for a day or so until it got hard , and then painted it and also touched up the rest of spots as close as i could to the original blue under the leg. even though its not seen because of the leg that goes over it , i thought it would make good practice for touching up other spots that would be more visible. but it turned out not too bad for the first time though.

i did sand it some , but it does looks like i need to sand it a bit more after looking at the close ups.
