Got a problem I'm hoping has an easy solution.
I have a ping pong table that consists of an aluminum frame support and the playing surface is 3/4" particle board. If you look at the attached photo, you will see an angled support member that originates right above the wheels and extends to the underside of the playing surface. This support is attached to the underside of the particle board via a bracket that is attached to the particle board with 4 screws.
During a transportation mishap, one of these brackets was ripped off the particle board and in at least one location this produced a large (maybe dime sized) "divot". Due to the size of the defect, I can't just fill the screw hole and re-tap the screw and I can't just use a larger sized screw in the existing holes.
With that background info, is anyone aware of an epoxy resin or other product that will mechanically bond to the defect in the particle board which can then be drilled in order to accept a screw that can hold this bracket in place?
Any ideas whatsoever would be appreciated.
