When you're getting ready to sell your home and you have to fix screw holes in the wood before you put your home on the market, how do you fix them? I'm no expert, but I enjoy watching the experts.
A knob goes in the spot where you need the fix, or that's the hole you have to use because the door hinge depends on it. I saw the perfect fix on one of the TV home shows not too long ago, and it worked!
The low-cost answer: toothpicks! Get several round toothpicks and some glue. Put the glue into the hole, then put one, two or three toothpicks into the hole. Break them off so they're flush with the wood. If you need more removed so that it's not sticking out, you can use a knife, some sandpaper, or the edge of a popsicle stick. Let the glue dry, then drive the screw back in, and the toothpicks hold onto the screw, almost like a new piece of wood would hold onto it. I tried this, and it works like a charm.
