Do you have a screw loose?

I did. Like one screw out of the bunch that hold my window moulding.
I discovered the solution because the screws to the hinges in the door to the den had pulled out. One of the Ace guys suggested this product, Mr. Grip.
You get these strips of aluminum that have been punched like a fine cheese grater. You can cut them in very thin strips about 1/8th of an inch wide with ordinary scissors.
That darn moulding screw would click every time I ran my hand over it. It had annoyed me for a long time, but I didn't want to put in a larger one or one that didn't match the other screws from the set I got from Max Merrit.
You can fold the little strip of aluminum over and stick it down the hole that has the loose moulding screw until it stops. Pinch it at the surface, pull it out and cut it so it will be at or just below the surface when you put it back in. Put the screw in and screw the moulding down tight.
