Hey, so today I was attempting to fill in a screw hole on my Pinbot playfield. The bracket that guides the spot target bank up and down takes a beating in normal play, and one of those screw holes was pretty well stripped out. I want that bracket to be securely mounted, so I tried filling the hole with some of that "Tootsie Roll" wood epoxy. Long and short is, it didn't do the job. Fortunately in this case I was able to drill a new hole through the bracket and into a fresh spot on the playfield (CAREFULLY), so now it's solid. But I bet this comes up from time to time - what product/method have you discovered that works well?
