Tooth paste makes a good spackling compound to cover small nail holes before painting a wall.

If a screw come loose in a door hinge and will no longer grip the wood. Try gluing a single wooden end of a match stim into the hole. Let the glue dry and break off the match head flush with the hole then reapply the screw. Works great in other applications as well.

Originally posted by Sicilian SausageWorks using only glue too. Work the glue into the hole or put some on the threads (or do both), then wipe off the excess after reinserting the screw. If the hole is too damaged to hold with just glue then using a matchstick or some other wooden splint is the way to go.

Originally posted by Sicilian SausageI use one or two toothpicks, snap them off to length, no need to use glue, so you can disassemble and reassemble it later if needed. I've done this many times. Often a few strands of copper wire will tighten up machine threads in metal. Wallowed out holes in sheet metal can often be peened back into a tight fit, remove screw and peen the surface the threads bit into with a hammer and dolly.

For those of you who still iron cloths, here is a handy hint.
To help the hot iron glide across the cloth more smoothly place a small sheet of wax paper out on the board and glide the iron across it first. Move the paper out of the way to reuse later. The small amount of wax will then lubricate the iron. I think you will be happy with the results.
As for staining I've never noticed a stain. But be your own judge and try it at your own rick when using on delicates.
