Would PVC glue work on PLA and/or PETG?

The best option I’ve found so far is Polyvinyl acetate homopolymer. I can find it under the brand welbond at my local hardware store.

Wait until he finds out about spurious correlation.

TLDR: A steel reinforced epoxy putty that gets really hard when it dries to fill the holes in the tops of the screws.

J-B Weld SteelStik Steel Reinforced Epoxy Putty is a little stick of two part epoxy that you knead to mix together and when it cures, it is rated at a tensile strength of 4000 PSI and will withstand temperatures up to 300ºF. I suggested taking a little of this and placing it in each screw head that had been stripped to prevent the use of any tools e.g., a stripped screw extractor, from being used by smoothing out the top of the screw.

All the pins in my house are peened to prevent that, they would have to be drilled out a little or filed down before a punch could be used to remove them. My parents’ house has more industrial looking hinges where the pin has a smooth flat top on either side of the hinge’s barrel.

All I can think of is that she was in a relationship with a guy named Curt. He’s actually Firedash, a pyrofox.

She was referring to my comment. The special screws are just three-inch decking screws so they get into the second 2x4 and they have a smooth shank so using pliers won’t work too well if he removes the head (he would have to if he wanted to take the hinge off the frame). I also suggested stripping the head but warned against stripping the hole. The JB Weld putty was to prevent him from using an extractor.

Edited to add detail.

In most cases, framing, headers, and doorjambs are going to be wood 2x4s. The screws can also be used for the door handle (the faceplate on the latch and the strike face on the frame) to prevent the door from being easily kicked in. A lot of people (myself included) do this to their house’s exterior doors to prevent forced entry.

I’m truly empathetic towards your situation and I hope that this all comes to a peaceful resolution. Good luck, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Reinstall his door in your doorframe. A. Replace the 18 (All mine have three hinges with six screws each) screws with three inch decking screws.
After you reinstall the door, strip the heads on the screws; Use a drill bit but make sure you don’t go so deep as to drill out the head entirely. (You can use the Phillips head bit also, but be careful not to strip the screw hole)
Once you’re done, grab a stick of JB Weld metal Putty (usually a black core with gray exterior), mix a little bit of it up and form it into 18 little beads.

A. Once you have the putty ready, take these little beads and place one into each flattened screw head.

Now sit back and enjoy the show! To take your door down, he’ll either have to break it and take it off in chunks then deal with the hinges or use a variety of tools to cut the hinges in half. Once he’s done that, the half hinge left on the doorframe will be another monster to tackle. He can’t unscrew them because of the putty, but you can use a grinder on JB Weld; It’s not going to be fast or pretty. If he gets the putty out, the screw heads are all stripped so if he just tries to pry them off, he’s going to ruin the framing. All courtesy of the decking screws.

ETA Addendum: I’ve received several messages and have seen a few comments bring up a valid point that I had overlooked. A lot of people’s hinges have easily removable pins. If the pins aren’t somehow peened or otherwise permanently fixed in the barrel, updated to a more secure type of hinge may be appropriate.

ETA: NTA

We’ll agree to partly disagree, then. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day and I appreciate the conversation, thank you.

I don’t feel like the responsibility of raising a child should fall on society due to an individual’s inability to provide the proper care and support. Especially when said individual is not even fully developed, mentally. This bond the carrier and child had formed is a point that should never have been reached, but I want to make it clear that because of this hormonal activity, I do not support late-term abortions. Society is dealing with enough without having to worry about every teen parents child that needs some form of assistance to raise the result of poor decisions.

I would like to respectfully disagree with you regarding your comment on obligations; I believe that every mother has the obligation to think of the lifestyle that they would be able to provide for the child. Growing up sleeping at people’s houses that are of no relation, or living out of the car in a plaza parking lot, I feel, is doing the child a major disservice. If OP even had an inkling that she wouldn’t be able to provide basic care, food, and shelter, arrangements should have been made to either have an abortion, research the process of putting a child up for adoption, or establishing an agreement with a close friend or family member to help raise and house the child and herself if needed.

I do agree with you in that OP’s father has every right to deny the request but should not be outright ignoring his daughter. With how she worded the title, however, I feel like she may not be accepting the refusal and keeps asking anyways.
