Stripped screw holes
Is there any product available that can be used to repair stripped screw holes in laminated body panels? Thanks, Terry

An old trick my Dad taught me years ago: if the screw is going into wood, put a toothpick in the hole, break it off flush, then thread in the screw. If the screw is going into metal, loop a piece of safety wire in half, put it in the hole, and bend flush with the surface. Thread in the screw and clip off the excess. A paperclip also works well in a pinch.
Best way is to fill the hole with either wood putty or JB Weld, then re-drill, but not always an option if you're in a pinch or don't have time wait for a filler to cure.
Hope this helps.
