Hi Terry, This was mentioned in the Journal in the Tech Tips a while ago. My favorite plug is with a piece of leather. Cut a small piece the length of the screw, half to a fourth the diameter of the screw, put some glue in the hole, grab your small tweezers, snuggly put the leather piece in, put the item to be screwed back on, and screw it in until it gets pretty snug. Sometimes I can tighten it very tight and call it a day. The leather with the glue gets very hard, and will conform to the screw threads and stay that way. Hope this helps.
