I'll second the tooth pick, and the West Systems Epoxy.
I used West System to seal the wood in my Morgan when I restored her back in
88-92. Where the wood was rotted, I made a damn out of masking tape, and
used West's filler to thicken the epoxy and build up the wood. Worked like a
charm.
The only problem with West System is the stuff isn't cheap. The last time I
bought some was almost 20 yrs ago. Back then a gal of each the hardener and
epoxy was something like $50. I know it's gone up since then. They also sell
pumps that pre measure the stuff 5 to 1. So 1 pump on each can comes out
correctly instead of having to try and measure the stuff.
For stripped screws, I've always just used a couple of tooth picks and some
Elmer's white glue. A cabinet maker friend of mine has been using it for many
many years. It's a lot cheaper than West.
