If you try it, can you let the Canteen know if it works?

This will be a good way to verify these hints....which work and which don’t.

To repair a loose screw in a wooden cabinet or door frame.

Remove screw and hinge.

Push wooden toothpicks in screw hole and break off flush.

Reassemble hinge and screws.

The screws will now tighten securely just like brand new.


To replace a loose or broken ceramic tile in your bathroom.

Remove loose or broken tile.

Take your tile to a home improvement center or tile shop to get a replacement tile/tiles to match.

Purchase a small box of powdered white tile grout (its cheap) and a bottle of weldwood household glue.

Clean out all loose bits of tile and grout in the area to be repaired.

In a small plastic dish mix some of the powdered grout with the glue until it is a very thick paste.

Coat the area to be repaired with a thick layer of the grout paste and press the new tile firmly in place.

The paste that squishes out around the edges can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

This method eliminates the need for messy tile glue and makes it easy to get a nice white grout repair at the same time in one step.

Although the glue/grout paste can be removed with a damp cloth while wet, once dried it is waterproof and the tile will never loosen again.

You may also use the glue/grout paste method to repair loose or missing grout around tiles without removing the tile if it isn’t loose.
