Hola -

Did a bit of googling and saw that plugging with a dowel and
redrilling, or putting epoxy in the hole prior to gluing are two
methods. Mom's got a couple of hinges that are pulling out of her mdf
(looks more like particle-ish type board to me) and I'd like to fix
them without drilling new cup holes.

Is Gorilla Glue and Screws the best bet? The screws_are_relatively
tight to the existing holes.

Thanks much,
JP

IMHO, Gorilla Glue is strictly overpriced and under peckered.

IOW, pure garbage.

Drill an over sized hole, say 1/4", then fill with some epoxy thickened
with some micro balloons using something like a popsicle stick.

Let harden and cure at least 48 hours, then drill pilot hole.

BTW, stay away from the 5 minute epoxy, you want some good stuff.

Been there, done that.

The pure wood worker would probably use a dowel rod to fill the hole.

Me, I like epoxy.
