I'm assembling my upper cabinets. I am attaching the top, bottom, and shelves of the cabinets to the exposed oak sides with pocket screws. On the refer cabinet, 24" deep, I was using 1" screws for other cabs but after lunch I forgot and I used the wrong length screws for the lower shelf/bottom panel. The panel fits into a 1/4" dado making the oak side effectively only 1/2" thick. Three screws went through. Please help?!?!?
The largest hole is about 3/32", and the next two are abot 1/16" and 1/32". Any tricks that I can do to fill them inconspicously? Or am I screwed (pun intended)?
My only other alternative that I see (in my amateur view) is to take some 5.5 mm, mdf core, oak panel that I have and cover the whole side. Here's the thing about that idea though.....I don't know anything about veneering. The size is only roughly 24" x23". How do I hold/clamp the panel to the side until the glue dries?
Any who can help me here will be my very, very best friend. :D
Thanks very much for any help.
