Fix leg of an old metal kitchen table leg?
I have a old metal kitchen table, and one of the leg will not stay screwed in. The hole well it was originally screwed in at is to big. How do I fix this? Thanks for your help.

My card table has a latch to keep the leg locked in place but I can't seem to get it locked--the leg just folds under and there goes the table!
Some people swear by JB Weld products.
Since they make 3-4 products, I would go up their website and see what can be drilled, after their product is used to fill such a hole.
Can you get a bigger screw and use Loctite around the screw.
Get some slivers of wood, coat them with some wood glue. Regular Elmer's glue would work also. No other glue. Stick them in the hole leaving very little space. Then screw the screw in.
Thank you both for the suggestions!
Another way would be to use screws thar are slightly larger in diameter.
