These craft picks (I call them hillbilly toothpicks) and wood glue work well. Better than a round toothpick in my experience. Just snap off a 1/4" -5/16" piece dip it in the glue, insert and install the screw. They are not as smooth and have more surface area for the glue to adhere to than a round toothpick.100_7568.jpg
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Why not just fill the hole with epoxy instead of sticking a toothpick or q-tip stick in it?
More work, No need to wait for drying, no drilling required, not as good of an overall repair. A good wood glue joint IS stronger than the wood itself. Epoxy may spin loose, crack, fall out when a screw is inserted.
