Quick remedy if the dowel hole is too large
Sometimes it happens when drilling the dowel hole, despite correct Steinbohrergröße that the dowel hole has become a little too big and the dowel can not hold.
I help myself by inserting two or three matches or better toothpicks (the wood is harder) into the dowel and cutting off the protruding dowel with a utility knife. Then screw in the screw.
Because the space for the screw has now become "too narrow", the dowel expands more - and holds bombproof.
