Pushed Screws into Case Too Hard

[tedmo]

Hello,

When putting in the six screws to close up the DMG, I pushed a little too firmly on the top left and top right screw, pushing it all the way through. It now doesn't secure it shut. Is there any solution to this besides purchasing a whole new case?

Thanks!

Add a small washer to the screw? Use some glue? Try a bigger screw? For sure there is a way to do it without buying new shell. Just need to experiment.

You could glue a piece of slightly thick plastic on the inside of the case using JBWeld Epoxy Syringe glue. Once the glue has set, somehow screw through the plastic, maybe with a pointy screw first to get your hole, then use a regular screw to shut it. JBWeld works great once it's completely hardened, make sure you get the syringe and mix it well. Also, do it outside or in an open area, it tends to have a strong burning smell once it's mixed....but it definitely does the job.
