Kerry,
I have no idea. A fellow listee made the suggestion a few days ago and I'm 
willing to give it a try.
Best,
Tom Driscoll;

Reservations about the longevity of glue-soaked paper aside, if you stuff 
the hole full and then harden it, wouldn’t you then have to create some kind 
of pilot hole? If you can just shove the screw in and start it, what does 
that say about the firmness of the repair?

List,.

I'm on board with Jons suggestion.

Who hasn't removed a screw thats been repaired with toothpicks or whatever 
and had a pile of splinters and saw dust come out. The late Journal editor 
Don Galt suggested in the journal the leather-tightbond method about 30 
years ago and it has worked for me. I will try the paper towel -CA 
suggestion at my next opportunity.
