What a great idea. I definitely will try it; along with the glue. Thanks so much for sharing.

I also add wood glue (Elmer's) to wood splinters or toothpicks.

I have used this for a lot of years, but I also add wood glue on the toothpicks!

My hubby's a retired rough carpenter, plumber and general contractor. He's often used this strategy. He's used everything from wooden toothpicks, to wooden matchsticks, to shims to make a loose screw fit.
