[pianotech] Fixing stripped screws

Now that we've settled on leather and glue-of-choice, a friend (and fellow
new tech) has suggested a modification of a technique he uses in
manufacturing a product which is built primarily with pressboard... he dips
his wood screws in plastic wood putty from the local Ace. For a repair, he
suggests just using a little more goo.

I don't recall any mention of this stuff in any of the several threads on
this topic. The one drawback that comes to mind is that it takes a while to
dry, like longer than a tuning.

Comments?
