I'm fairly new to the world of DIYing and Woodworking, so I've been doing my fair share of stripping screw heads as I learn correct driver sizes and drilling technique. I have tried so many different guides on what to do - rubberband over the head, cut a new slot with a dremel, twist it out with pliers, etc. In the midst of having a fight with another shell of a screw last night, I had an idea, so I'm wondering if you all can tell me if it's completely stupid or if it might just work.I've looked at these JB Weld products for a different task and it popped into my head to wonder if I could fill the stripped screwhead with the JB Weld and let it form a new head. Obviously, there needs to be a place for the driver to go, so this is where I was getting creative. I know (think?) the metal-bonding epoxy does not bond to plastic, so are there screwdrivers that are plastic that I could set into the epoxy while it's still wet so that when it dries to form there is a proper slot for the driver? Basically reforming the head entirely with a mold of the driver bit, then once it fully sets being able to use the proper metal driver more or less normally.So, verdict? Are these plastic driver heads even a thing? Am I over-complicating a simple issue? I am overestimating the durability of JB Weld to be able to serve this kind of purpose?Thanks in advance. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2iVpMZo
