Filler Material

[Cape Codder]

I have read of a product which can be used to fill screw holes that have stripped out and then re-drill the hole.

Has anyone used such a product and does it work WELL?

I have uesd toothpicks and glue for small holes ---worked on golf carts, have a lot of golf tees ----sand to size and glue

for quick I have cut off 1 leg of cotterpin, stuck in hole, 1/2 of bent top digs in ---twigs, wire,epoxy, bondo ----much depends on how quick, how pretty, how strong

Drill it out, glue in a wood dowel & start over.

Depends on the material type that the hole is in.
Many options are available, from fillers to Heli-Coil type inserts.
What is the hole in? What type of threads (wood, machine, etc)?

I had a exhaust manifold that the stripped hole was not in line. That’s what I did . Drill and tap, screw in a bolt,cut it off and redrill and tap to the correct size and location.worked great

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions.
1930 The material is wood. The stripped out holes are from wood screws that hold the panel inside the door itself which holds the window crank. I was actually looking to find a product similar to JD weld but know that was not it.

PC-7 ? Better than JB WELD IMO. Use a heat gun to help mixing and getting a head start on cure time.

If it in wood the drilling out and replacing with a hard wood dowel especially the ones with the spiral cuts up the sides hold great. These type of dowels were used in the corners of cabinet doors between the rails and styles. Smaller holes just a small dowel or tooth pick will work.

If you are talking wood work, there is a 'plastic' wood filler that has the qualities that you may want.

That looks interesting. It says it has 'steel teeth', so is the entire patch made of steel?

Yes it is steel. Check at your local Home Depot (cheaper) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt...om their ad...

" The Woodmate Mr. Grip Screw Hole Repair Kits can be used to fix old worn and stripped screw holes. It doesn’t even matter what material the screw is embedded in - wooden, metal, plastic , even cement, aluminum or anywhere screw holes need fixing. To use simply cut a strip to the size needed, fit it lengthwise into hole, insert a screw and tighten. And not to worry, if you make a mistake with this product its ok, a screw may be unscrewed if needed."
