Screws into the ceiling

I have a plastic rail type thing that is screwed into the ceiling holding a curtain (floor to ceiling) that separates the bunk beds to the rest of the camper. Three of the five screws have been stripped out and will not stay when I try to screw them back in.

What can I use to secure this plastic piece going across the top back up to the ceiling? Would a dab of Gorilla Glue or super glue work without staining the ceiling? Clear caulk? Wood glue?

Drywall plugs....get some the same length as your screws.

I had to use those when my fat a** knocked the toilet paper roller off the wall.

Lol...nice. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

they also sell small funnel shaped pieces of window screen for this use.

I always use what is called MOLLY BOLTS. These will screw in and expand behind the wall that giving you lots of strength by spreading out the weight over a larger area. You can also completely remove the screw with this model and the base stays in tact...





Another popular bolt like this has a spring wing behind the wall but if you remove the screw all drops behind the wall...


The only other sure method is to put a back board across the area and use regular wood screws to hold up your items...

Larger diameter screws?

A toothpick wood glued into the hole works.

Yep, a toothpick, or two usually works well. I sometimes use superglue, wood glue, or epoxy, too. I put the screw in before the glue sets up.

If it's a big hole, I'll sometimes glue in a wood dowel or something the size of the hole and start all over.
