A method of securing a screw-receiving plug in an over-sized hole preformed in a fixture comprises the steps of: (a) providing at least one piece of a loosely-woven fabric carrying consolidated thereon a quick-setting filler material, which fabric piece is sized to envelop at least circumferentially the plug intended to be used; (b) enveloping the plug circumferentially in the fabric piece; (c) activating the filler material; and (d) inserting the enveloped plug in the hole in a manner such as to ensure filling of the hole by the enveloped plug. On setting, the activated filler material and fabric restrain the plug against rotation when a screw is being driven into the plug thereby to secure the screw in the fixture. The preferred filler material is plaster of Paris. |
