    A small sized plastic, disposable cake decorating bag works better for forcing any kind of putty or filler into large holes like in the third solution he gives. Cheap, clean, and easy, and keeps the filler off the rest of the board.

      Exactly. Trying to get the filler into a hole with a plastic spreader can trap air in the hole making for a weakened threaded plug. I’ve especially noted this when filling a largish hole in skirting board or whatever. Pushing in the filler with a spreader just traps air and is fiddly to remove at best without sanding flush and putting in a second coat. Both the icing bag and zip lock bag would work very well, however I don’t tend to have an icing bag on site with me. I’ve just used any old plastic bag I can find and cut a corner off about 3 x the size of the amount of filler to be used, job done, plus at no cost.

    Another quick and effective option is to drill larger holes and then get some wooden dowels that are the same size as those holes. Put some PVA wood glue around the dowels and then hammer them into the holes. You can then drill new holes.

The door on the top came loose n its partly heavy. So I asked someone at home depot before n they said toothpicks.....so the last two times doing errands I forgot them. So watching your video I had the three I need for now. Ones that don't have a lip and happened to be the right size.....it works beautifully!!! Thank you!!!

    All good ideas and clearly work. However you might not always have tooth picks or plastic wall plugs with you. Nevertheless, working on site be it re hanging a door with enlarged screw holes or any other fixture you may be trying to re-fix, it’s most likely that you will have a chisel or a utility knife with you. My favourite go to solution is to cut a 3 sided wedge from the corner of a scrap piece of wood, cutting along the grain, not across, about 3/16’ longer than the screw. I then cut the 3/16’ off the bottom tapered point. Then [without enlarging the hole] I poke a bit of wood glue in the hole and hammer in the tapered piece of wood into the screw hole until it won’t go in any further, then cut off the protruding end flush. Then use an awl to make a hole to get the screw started. The tapered plug is such a tight fit that it becomes part of the wooden frame, or whatever pieced wood your trying or repair. I have yet to find a stronger way of dealing with a stripped/enlarged hole. I’ve used matchstick’s in the past which work the same as wooden tooth picks at a pinch.
