2016年6月17日 · The legs are a bit wobbly, tighten the screws. Maybe this coming winter, I'll drill out the screw holes at 3/8" and peg and glue the joints. Its a carving bench 12" x 48", built entirely out of 4x4 western red cedar (crappy small-log stuff, far harder than the fancy deck & …

2016年9月18日 · Using wood glue certainly works, but if the screw is steel, the moisture in the glue can cause the screw to rust. If the hole is really stripped out, the slivers of wood approach Steve mentioned is the next best answer. I have occasionally drilled out the screw hole oversize and glued a matching piece of wood in the hole.

2016年1月6日 · In the past I had the same problem, I thought it was because of the 1/4 screws I was using, which were to big, I pre drilled also, but the same thing happened, so I ended drilling with 1/4 bit, and put glue in the hole and on screw, and inserted it as if it was a dowel, I liked this idea, but found more convenient machine screws because their threads are less aggressive …

2013年2月6日 · Long grain joints would be inherently weak with pocket screws alone....and glue nicely. There might be a situation where in a pocket screw and glue might be needed...but I can't think of one. OK..I thought of one...possibly. Attaching the fronts to the boxes with pocket screws and glue might be advantageous if you don't have the clamps.

2022年10月18日 · What I would try first is to drive a wooden match stick into the hole with some wood glue and let it dry. That usually will get the job done. Another option would be to drill the hole out and put a threaded insert in it. Then use a machine screw in that hole. You could also drill all the way thought and insert a tee nut from the back side.

2009年5月14日 · Hardboard does not work well for wide drawers and doesn't glue well. Usually I cut the slots and glue it in, but once I built a desk center drawer that was about 30” wide. I wanted room for an arm chair to fit under it, so I glued and nailed a 1/4” piece of plywood flush with the bottom and used drawer slides.

2024年12月22日 · Wood glue won't work for a re-glue because it has to soak into the fibers of the wood to work and the fibers are sealed with the old glue. gorilla glue is just a temporary fix, the stuff should be banned for anything but craft work. What would make a permanent repair is a two part epoxy. It's designed for not porous applications.

2017年11月29日 · If an oversize or slightly longer screw isn’t an option, I would recommend making plugs (not dowels) and gluing them into the appropriate size holes. Then drill and screw as usual. The cross grain of a plug holds better than the end grain of a dowel. Toolman’s idea of silicone is a good one.

2009年1月3日 · To insert broken tooth picks with glue into the screw hole or to inject epoxy into the screw hole ...

2023年3月11日 · I'd suggest the hole should be 1.5 X the length of the screw penetration depth. Loosening the clamp, glue and insert a 1/2" dowel and then re-tighten the clamps; when dry trim to length; Pre-drill a pilot hole for your screw and then fasten the pieces together.
