I am desperately trying to refasten the hinge between the kitchen cabinet frame and the door itself. This is a corner cabinet (bi-folding doors)and the door is made out of laminated compressed/chip board. Conventional attempts to repair the door with wood filler in the screw holes proves too temporary. There has to be a better way! Please advise of a good, more permanent solution. THANKS, Phil

A number of fixes exist. 1> bore for hardwood doweling and glue in place. 2>fill with PC-11 epoxy and bore for screw when set. 3>insert screw hole repair screen, reinsert screw. 4 >cut plastic screw anchor and force in hole after applying Krazy Glue.
