What happens here

After inserting and snapping off the golf tees, allow the Gorilla Glue ample time to cure. The presenter suggests waiting at least an hour, or a couple of hours for tiny screws, to ensure the glue has fully hardened. If using regular wood glue, an overnight drying period is necessary for optimal strength. Once the glue is completely dry and hard, the cabinet hinges and their original screws can be reinstalled. The new hardwood backing from the golf tees will provide a tight and secure purchase for the screws, resolving the issue of loose doors.

Goal: Ensure secure screw placement after glue has set.
