Cotton wool & Superglue to the rescue (as a filler)
I can't think of anywhere else this should go, but if a Mod thinks otherwise...
This is a very cool demo of how to make a filler for many different purposes.

A lot of fillers can be screwed, or at least they boast of being able to. I liked the radio facia repair.

That's what I thought too.
Matt, that particular repair is just as easily (or even better) done with epoxy & sawdust, but just not as fast to cure. You would need screws with high profile threads to make that properly secure, I would think.

Definitely a very good warning to the unwary!
"Wearing gloves when applying cyanoacrylates is essential. However, choosing the wrong type of glove—i.e., made with incompatible materials—can cause more harm than good. When exposed to cyanoacrylates, organic or natural materials, such as cotton and wool, experience a rapid exothermic reaction that generates heat and, potentially, smoke that can cause serious burns or smoke inhalation injuries. Nitrile and other non-woven/non-porous synthetic materials are more suitable materials for gloves intended for cyanoacrylate application as they do not initiate such a reaction." - Common Misconceptions About Cyanoacrylate Adhesives (And What You May Not Know About Them) - Aron Alpha
Another material best to avoid with CA is latex, especially latex gloves - DAHIKT.

Tried this in a couple of situations now and the cotton balls are now stocked permanently in the shed - blown away by how well it works! Was replacing some GPO's in the house my young bloke is renovating and one mounting block was screwed into some old fibro which of course crumbled the holes when I removed it so new screws had nothing to bite into. Poked the cotton wool in and applied the CA - wasn't sure it would 'wick' in being horizontal but 20 minutes later it was hard as rock and I predrilled to suit the screws and they held perfectly. Sold on this idea

CA and cement powder is another trick for certain applications
