The LAST thing you want to do is make the hole bigger or a stress riser. All you need to do is have the screw have enough friction to get it to stay in. Put some elmers glue on a kitchen match (preferably not the striking end) and break it off in the hole. Has been the standard repair since Orville and Wilbur.GeneDate: Sat=2C 23 Oct 2010 17:45:51 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Repairing wood screw holes

I really like the idea of barrel nuts and machine screws. I hate to remove any material from the longerons though, without knowing how much is too much. I will look at the inserts to see what sizes are available.On several holes, the threads are pretty much gone. What if I insert a hardwood dowel, sand flush, drill a hold, thread it with a screw, then soak in CA glue to make the threads harder from the beginning? I did catch Billy's note that end grain is not a good place for screw threads.Thanks for the tips so far! This place has some invaluable information.Steve RuseNorman, OK
