hi guys
I screwed in wrong place and created a bigger hole. Now need to move the screw location slightly away from the messed up hole. If I create another whole, it is just going to tear near area and would not hold the white screw shown in the image. Please suggest me how I can fill the hole to create another hole or even filling the hole in this white furniture. Image attached. Thanks
Hi @Sugar,
It should be reasonably easy to fix, just fill the hole with https://www.bunnings.com.au/turbo-175ml-builders-bog-flexipack_p1670144 , allow it to dry, give it a quick sand if needed, paint it to match the surrounding area, then redrill your hole and insert the piece and screw.
While it is not ideal in heavy weight bearing scenarios, builder's bog will hold a screw if needed.
If there was a fair bit of weight that needed to be held, I would instead move the plastic piece over to more solid material and alter whatever is sitting on it to accommodate the new location of the plastic piece. You can fill any holes using the builder's bog above and then sand and paint.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

@JacobZ thank you. There are other 3 screws(supports) which are already fine and they are supporting a panel that goes on top of the dressing table( hardly 1.5kg or not even that). so, once we use the product, we will be okay to drill in the same spot ?
Hello @Sugar
Yes, you are able to drill into the same spot, but it would be better to drill into an area with more solid material for safety.
