After you have tapped the dowels into the holes and once the glue has set cut the dowel off so that is flush with the edge of the wood and drill a pilot hole before screwing into it. This method provides a strong fixing point that is almost as if you were screwing into new wood.Use tanged threaded inserts when the screw hole must retain its original diameter (or go smaller). A threaded insert is a sleeve that replaces material lost from the boring process. A tang is a small metal tab that facilitates rotation of the threaded insert. Given its price, it is more affordable and represents the upper-middle-class range of wood solvents. It is a durable solvent since it has been created with natural wood fibers. These actual wood fibers are essential to match the wall’s structural integrity that has been drilled on. How long it takes for this wood filler to dry depends on your local weather temperature and humidity levels.

While this can work in certain situations, it’s important to be aware of some potential issues that might arise. Just depends if your planning on drilling in exact spot as previous hole or just talking generally about drilling holes in the wall over the future
