How to fix screws pulled out of chipboard?
The chipboard front of our dish-washer has become detached
because the screws holding it on have pulled out. Is there any simple way of re-inforcing the material around the holes? Would Araldite be strong enough to screw into? Quite a lot of force is required to open the (De Dietrich) dishwasher. Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland |
