Need a quick way to re-tap a stripped hole?
Use CRC Minute Mend Epoxy Putty part # 14070 (4 oz stick) or 14071 (2 oz stick). Break off a piece just large enough to fill the hole, and knead together per instructions. While still soft, insert Minute Mend into hole to be re-tapped and use the screw or fastener to “tap” the hole forming the threads. Retract the screw, and let the Minute Mend set. Once set, you will have a freshly tapped hole that will work for a long time.

This stuff has gotten good reviews from most of my customers, who incidentally, use it mostly for automotive applications.
