      Answer This Question

      It would not be recommended to use the dowel as a patch for redrilling. Using carpenters glue is generally the best option for securing the dowels.

          Use a half lap joint then peg or nail it together. That’s how old barn beams were merged together.

              Made repairing a cabinet door easy.
              The General Tools 3/8 in. Wood Doweling Kit helped me fix what was going be a nightmare. I had a cabinet door hinge tear out. The door is made from compressed fiberboard and could not be fixed with the "toothpick" method. I drilled and widened the damaged holes with the supplied bit. Glued in the dowels, cut them flush after the glue dried, sanded, redrilled new hinge screw holes and reattached the hinges. The General Tools 3/8 in. Wood Doweling Kit got me out of a tough situation and made a repair that will last.

              I’m reassembling a dining room table, and one of the leg braces has a fractured dowel. This product will allow me to drill out the remains of the broken dowel and glue a new dowel in its place. Excellent product!

              Dowel worked exactly as needed to finish project fixing hole I had erroneously drilled in a storm door. Now I need paint to make surface all the same color.

              The General Tools 3/8” Wood Doweling Kit is a dependable little set for clean, accurate joints. The dowels are straight and well‑made, the bit cuts clean, and the stop collar keeps everything consistent. It’s basic, but it works exactly the way it should. You’ll want extra dowels for bigger projects, but for small repairs or quick joins, it’s a solid, no‑nonsense kit.
