[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1038225, member: 2011"] O'Reilies, AutoZone or what ever auto store has a rack full of the stuff. I find myself going back to the silver tube of Quick Steel putty. Simply slice a bit off, about what you think you'll need. Knead it, consider using nitrile gloves, until it starts to warm. It will begin to set up quickly once it starts to warm. Stuff as much of the stuff in the hole as you can. Wet your finger to smooth it. Let it set over night before drilling. If the screw is a wood screw type select a drill size that will achieve the best thread fit but choose so the drill is no larger than the shank of the screw. A pointed screw in a cylindric hole make thread fit a compromise. [/QUOTE]
