    As some viewers have pointed out, running a much longer screw (3" screw, for example) will often remedy this. It drives deeper into the actual framing rather than just the door casing.

      This is true I have done that... but this way its a pain in the butt & doesn't last as long.
      USE GOLF FEES. I use Gorilla Glue for wood - hammer in the golf tees - let it sit for 24 hours and then I saw off the ends of the golf tees then I sand it and then screw everything in. TA DA it's good for 20 years as long as you use the long screws.
      PS. Golf tees come in different sizes. Make sure you get the correct size for your screw holes.

    Nice video. My uncle showed me this 50 years ago when I was a teenager. We used it on furniture, doors, anything with wood screws. I often used wooden match sticks- especially on larger voids. If no glue is available, it will work anyhow. Glue just makes it a more permanent event.

    Didn’t have matches, chopsticks, toothpicks and didn’t want to drive into town. Cut 2 inch long by 1/4 inch pieces off the end of the longer style paint stirrers. Sharpened the end, put some glue on it and drove one in each drilled out hole. Worked great.

    Great video! I’ve been using tiny wood dowels in the same manner since I inherited my grandmother’s house 15 years ago. Extremely difficult to find boards to make a whole new frame in this type wood and not everyone has tiny dowels laying around. Most have toothpicks and maybe even some Elmer’s school glue (which works also, if given time to dry). I’ve also found that one shouldn’t use a drill on hinge holes, as it will strip them faster. Also, I have found that opening the wood glue container makes a world of difference! 😂

I used a hot glue gun to glue four toothpicks up into the holes, then cut them off flush with a steak knife. The screws went in beautifully.
    Next up, loading the dishwasher.

    Hey Nils. A sensational story for you. I have a Kenmore fridge in which the door handle kept coming off because the top two screw holes were stripped. A few years ago, I had a Sears repairman come and try to fix it. He charged $150 to my landlady and all he did was put some epoxy in the holes. A couple of months later, the screws came loose and the handle came off again. So, I left the door alone with no handle for years. Then, I saw this video and decided to give it a shot. I just finished the job. IT WORKS! Many thanks.

  • @markkinsler4333
    @markkinsler4333 3 роки тому +5

    I never have much luck with hot glue, so I repair stripped holes in antique clock cases as follows: (1) Fill hole with super glue gel. (2) find a round toothpick or two and dip them into the still-liquid glue gel in the hole. (3) Then dip the glue-coated toothpicks in baking soda--bicarbonate of soda---and put them back into the hole you're repairing. The baking soda greatly accelerates the hardening of the glue gel, which generally doesn't like having such a thick cross-section. The toothpicks will be secured in about 30 seconds, at which time you can cut them off with wire cutters or something. Re-drill your hole as best you can.

    This is a great trick. I've seen similar with using a wood dowel or sharpened pencil tips, but is a lot more "things around the house" friendly. Another great alternative if you have some handy is canned foam insulation. it dries really hard and holds a strong bond and it is drillable. it's also really great for filling in large drywall holes like behind where a towel rack support hangs. just be sure to have a putty knife handy to level off and remove the excess defore it sets. if you wait to long and it cures, it'll take a hacksaw or dremel cutting tool to remove the excess.

    I have done this a hundred times, and I have never waited for the glue to dry. If you drive in the screw with fresh glue, it still grabs the wood just fine. It also presses against the glue joints and helps spread the wet glue through the gaps and against the threads.

    • @paulkolodner2445
      @paulkolodner2445 2 роки тому +3

      @@matttrowbridge856 I hear what you're saying, but I tend to disagree. If you have a clean hole and fill it with a well-fitting, solid plug, then the joint will be strongest if the glue is allowed to dry. But when you shove a few loose toothpicks into a hole with stripped threads, the fit is not very tight, and the thick layers of glue will not be as strong as they could be. If you drive in a screw before the glue dries, you're essentially getting the same strength you would have achieved without the glue. But now the glue gets squeezed into thin bonds and increases the strength after it dries.

    Also possible: I have filled hole with epoxy (favor JB Weld appropriate to the substance the hole is drilled in) then, before it sets, insert a well oiled screw into the hole. Wipe away the epoxy that is forced out and work the screw around to get full coverage; let it dry. The screw should come out easily.
    I sometimes let the screw protrude slightly so the last turns really do 'bite'. In other cases I have enlarged the bottom of the hole (angle drilling) before applying the epoxy - the wider 'bottom' makes it more resistant to pulling out.) You can still add the toothpick if you want, but you'll have to redrill and add the screw later.

    Hmm, I've been using toothpick, golf tees wood dowels and longer screws for a long time. I don't think you really need the glue(doesn't hurt). If you use a a couple more toothpicks you can plug the hole soildly(with out glue). I like the ones that are pointy on both sides. It's really easy to stock toothpicks. Thanks for sharing your version.

    I did this in wood cabinets and it worked great! The closer at top of storm door completely pulled out of door - all three screws. It is a metal frame. Would this work also for metal?

    I have always used matchsticks and never needed to use any glue with them, I think they give a better fit because of being thinner sticks (you can pack in more if needed) and they seem to get into all the nooks & crannies inside the hole ;-)

    Well I did this last night, as I received the wood glue from amazon yesterday. I let the tooth picks set all night and chipped the ends of with a hammer like in your video,?was well shocked when screw tighten, so chuffed that I fixed the tv draw as I was going to chuck it 😁
