Kitchen Cabinet Repairs. Fixing Loose or Wobbly Doors.

What happens here

Gather the necessary materials and tools for the repair. The core items are golf tees, which are made of hardwood and will provide a new, firm foundation for the screws. For adhesive, the presenter recommends Gorilla Glue for its fast drying and hard-setting properties, though regular wood glue (like Titebond Premium Wood Glue) can also be used if longer drying time is acceptable. A cutting tool, such as a '2 EDGE 5-IN-1' tool or a utility knife, is needed to potentially whittle down or snap off the golf tees.

Goal: Collect all items required for the repair.
