In restoring a Mistral 404, I need to remove and inspect all fasteners to ensure their holding force is sufficient.
Epoxy manufacturers, such as West System recommend gluing the wood screws in, making the fasteners permanent, or semi permanent if using mold release.
Since I need to make the fasteners sturdy for now, and proceed to more in depth restoration after the summer, I am contemplating glueing threaded inserts and using machine screws.
Inserts such as Self-Locking, Blind Threaded, Type IBLC from Penn Engineering would be good in my sense.
Thank you for any advices and warnings.
