Fix Stripped Screws In Wood. Door Hinge Repair.

What happens here

After the golf tee has been hammered into the stripped hole, there will likely be a portion of it extending beyond the wood surface. Firmly snap this excess portion off by hand or tap it with the hammer to break it flush with the surface of the wood. The goal is to leave a smooth, flush surface where the screw will eventually be reinserted. Allow the glue to dry completely as per the manufacturer's instructions before attempting to drive a screw into the newly reinforced hole.

Goal: Once the golf tee is fully inserted, snap or cut off any part of it that protrudes from the wood surface, ensuring it is flush.

gorilla glue works a lot better than say just regular wood glue i like something that actually expands and fills up that area also so you just put it in there snap it the excess off and now you have some wood backing in there once again that's strong that that screw can screw to
