What does the collective wisdom use to fix screws that are used to hold stuff in thin walls.....
EG: the sides walls of the boats like interior of the flybridge or non supporting walls that might be fiberglass or a thin wood or plastic product. Thin, like 1/8th to 1/4 thick. And there's a drink holder, or snaps for a covering or whatever, that the screw is suppose to hold. And there's just not enough "meat" in the sidewall to prevent the screw from loosening up and not holding.
Now, there's a lot of techniques, and pretty easy if you can get to the back of it. But if you can't get to the back, how to you enlarge the wall side on the inside or is there a favorite fastener that works.
Rivnuts "might" work, but need one that would strongly grip the wood. Do they make one that would work?
Have also tried stuffing epoxy in there, works fair....
Ideas?
