Screw Hole Too Big
Just replaced an outside marker light, but the screw was not able to grab (because the hole was too big).
What is the best way to repair this?
Thank you.

- If wood, a common fix (assuming just wallowed out, not rotted out)is to insert a couple of wood matches (sans head) into the hole. Be sure to put some sealer on the screw threads before threading it in.
- if wood, glue in a short piece of dowel
bumpy - I'm only guessing, but it seems like it is trying to grab into something of the wood variety.....underneath the composite (not aluminum).
- There are many ways to skin the cat here with the obvious being can you use a larger screw - say move up from a #8 to a #10. So beyond the obvious there, what's your marker mounted to? For instance, aluminum siding or composite wall camper?
