Handy Hint:
Problem:( Screws working out of the inside wall, ones that hold the decorative curtains.
Solution:)
Having tried several times to fill the screw holes with wood filler/putty using a putty knife. Having no lasting success as I could not get enough putty into the little hole.
DW suggested I use one of the syringes (no needle) that we get from the pharmacy for giving the kids medicine.
I removed the plunger, filled the syringe with putty, then replaced the plunger and proceeded to "fill" the stripped holes. Some had more space behind them than others. Let it dry a day then screwed in the screws.
All holding tight!
Count your blessings!
