Fixing screw holes - Will regular elmers work?

[RG Guy]

I think the title and topic description are enough. I want to know if regular elmers white glue (school glue) and toothpicks cut it in repairing screw holes for the control cavity, trem cavity, and strap button screws.

i would just use 5-minute EPOXY. It's clear, won't leave *a mess and further damage the soft basswood as toothpicks could. Use sparingly and a toothpick to fill the hole just slightly. If you overfill you will have to re-drill the hole, but again this is permanent... glen

But if you do go with the toothpick method use a yellow wood glue. Elmer's white will work but it is also a weak glue compaired to those made specifically for wood on wood situations.
