Screw holding wood putty - or something the likes

[Jay Jolliffe]

How about drilling where the abused wood is & glue a dowel to screw into...

Norwegian delicacies..... Ahem.....yes, - but some of them are better not disclosed to the rest of the world..
( like Smalahove - grilled sheeps head..... )

I made the mistake of Google Imaging "smalahove".

I'll bet if you could get past the appearance, you'd find some good eating.

I'll stick with steak and potatoes, thank you.

Here's a product that was recommended to me recently.. I got some but I haven't used it yet to give a review.

Another option could be Bondo. I'm certain both are readily available on the Internet.

Sorry - my bad.... I shouldn't have revealed it....
have never eaten it myself, either.... I'll stick to lutefisk or boknafisk....

[Dave Richards]

Save some for me.

As objectionable foods I've had go, Smalahove cannot compare to Surströmming.

If the Minwax putty is unavailable, look in an auto parts store for body filler. The most popular here is called Bondo, and it works great on wood. I repaired a window sill that a dog had literally eaten the corner off of. Over 20 years ago, and still holding. It is a two part filler, and as long as you don't add the hardener, it has a very long shelf life. I know this because the same can of Bondo I used on that window sill is still in my shop. I used some a year ago, and it still was good.

FWIW - the actual meat off the smalahove is said to be very good, but the presentation.. OMG - not for the faint of heart, nor the Michelin guys, that's for sure!

Thanks guys, for your replies. Bondo is also not available here, but similar stuff is. Just hadn't thought of automotive stuff in this context....

Dave Zeller: I don't really know, but I've had a roll for a couple of years, wrapped in cling wrap and it worked fine about a month ago.

Thanks! A couple years is plenty. Looks like a very useful thing to have on hand.
