Tricky ways to screw a self-tapping screw into a loose hole

click fraud protection

Hello everyone! I think there is hardly a person among my readers who does not use ingenuity to solve everyday problems in repair and construction, in the country and in the apartment.

Today I want to share two working ways to screw a self-tapping screw into a loose hole.

At the same time, both methods are universal, and they can be used for any materials: the self-tapping screw will go even into the concrete wall of the Khrushchev, even into the facade of the kitchen unit made of MDF. Works equally well.

By the way, if you thought that I would advise you to rub the screws with laundry soap, this is not the case.
This is pure charlotte, and the method does not work.

Method one.

In order to screw the self-tapping screw into the loose hole, it is enough to take a thin copper or aluminum wire and wind it tightly between the turns of the self-tapping thread.

Just as shown in the photo below:

How it works?

The section of the self-tapping screw increases in width, and soft metal fills the loose space of a wall or wood. The self-tapping screw sits tightly. Try it!

Method two.

I would advise using the second method when the self-tapping screw needs to be screwed into a material of wood origin. For example, timber, MDF, chipboard, plywood, etc.

To do this, mix small sawdust (the less - the better) with PVA glue in a ratio of 1: 3. The thicker the "sour cream" is, the better. To heighten the effect, seal the hole with matches.

After 30 minutes, the glue with sawdust will harden, you can remove the excess, cut the matches and tighten the self-tapping screw forever.

Your opinion?
