Blue thread locker in wood?

[dan_house]

The screws on my hamsters are constantly backing out. Worried about damaging the wood surrounding the hole, and the screws not holding at all

better off using super glue in the hole, letting it cure THEN putting the crews back?

Is talk about screwing hamsters permitted on AGN?

I used huck bolts inserts to good results in metal so id have no issues with wood types like that screwed in one for a gun stock thing

superglue with a cotton ball if you want to retap hole ..just pouring in the hole won't do much ..would probably chip out
how heavy is the hamster?

 

[dan_house]

Not heavy, but its not centered, so some torque would be applied to it

Yes, inserts will be done, but not till after the Worlds......

Just ask yourself-
"If I do well at The Worlds with a loose hamster, am I going to want to alter it?"

Good luck at the competition

When bolting things (bipod mounting brackets or sling studs) to the forearm I epoxy a stainless steel t-nut from the inside. The t-nut accepts a machine screw, spreads any force over a larger area and the epoxy binds the t-nut and stock together.

Just be sure to degrease the wood before gluing.

I carve out a relief and modify the head of the t-nut as required to fit.
