How do I repair pulls on a dresser?
I bought a used dresser and chest of drawers at a charity site. The pulls on several of the draws are broken and I’m wondering if anyone has ever repaired something like this. Unfortunately I don’t have the pieces broken off. I had seen a post about making a mold from hot glue and copying the shape with wood filler. Would something like that work.

I am guessing they are wooden knobs? Are there big chunks broken out? If so the easiest thing might be to replace them. You can find wooden drawer pulls on the internet and see if you can match what is already there. Or you can replace them all together.
You can repair the current knobs, but if the damage is bad it may not look very good, or last very long.
Because pulls are so inexpensive, I'd definitely replace them with new pulls. You will be pulling on them and need something sturdy!
