Thread: Small box hinge problem - Family Woodworking

It sounds like you are trying to stabilize the wood around the shorter screws. You may find a PVA glue adequate for that, such as one of the Titebonds. (If I have to move a screw hole or have other problems with screws, Titebond and some wood slivers in the "bad" screw hole normally fixes it.

An epoxy is likely to hold the screw in, not just make a solid bed for the screw. If you go that way, my "go to" Epoxy is the system 3 5-minute two part epoxy. See http://www.woodcraft.com/product/200...y-12-pint.aspx

For years I tried the various tiny tubes and syringe dispensers, with poor luck. Then I needed a larger amount for a project, and this stuff worked great. It keeps well, and I now use this epoxy for many things - epoxy is no longer my enemy. (Put the leftover in the refrigerator to extend the life even more). You can even sand it flush (use it as a filler, perhaps with some coloring), and the finishes I use stick to it without problem.

The 5 minute part is roughly the open time - allow hours for it to build strength.
