    But even though the solder sounds crazy I may just have to try it. Kind of like grape jelly on a grilled cheese sandwich.

    Quoted from Superchicken:

    Solder. A soft metal that readily conforms to the hole when a screw is driven into it. No alignment issues like when a tooth pick pushes the screw to one side or the other. It works. It's a trick Tim Arnold showed me while working at the PHoF.

    Oh that is so cool!! Yes I can see it working fairly well but it is just something you may never think of.

    Any tips for electrical tape??
