Re: Air button keeps backing out on my Regal box

Hi, the Loctite we know in Europe is made of a blue colored sticky filler stuff i wouldn't really call glue; you usually put that on metal nut-bolt or even tapered thread in metal to metal constructions that vibrate like used in a car. Maybe there's a wood friendly stuff for sale in the USA, i dunno ....

- If a screw hole in wood is worn i usually make a filler with some wood-dust and epoxy. Or just a little woodglue or cyanoacrylate (woodglue works better) with a chip of a match stick pressed into the hole, when you're in a hurry.

- With epoxy: put a little stiff soap on the screw itself and you can screw it in the hole when the epoxy starts to harden a little, making it possible to remove it again later. Don't over-tighten yet. Let it dry a while 'til the epoxy hardens out. The tightening depends on the drying speed of the used epoxy. Then tighten the screw later without too much pressure at first, until the epoxy has really hardened.

- If you got the time, fill the hole up with the above epoxy trick without the screw, and then after hardening (pre) drill a new screw hole. - Nout
