Quoted from mystman12:So I was cleaning my Stargate, I noticed a screw that wasn't holding at all. At first I thought the hole was stripped, but upon further investigation I realized the original hole had been drilled too big and didn't even have a thread!
So should I just use the toothpick technique to fill the hole, or should I do something else since this hasn't been stripped?
(Also, is that toothpick big enough?)
On this particular one, I'd flatten the toothpick and soften the wood fibers using pliers or a vise, so (1) you can pack up more fibers and (2) the screw can more easily get in.
