The 'legacy' cabinets in my kitchen are moderatley poor particle board with some kind of laminate facing. The hinges of the cabinet doors are well-made steel affairs, each side of each hinge taking two machine-type screws about 3/4" long,.

One hinge on one cabinet door has ripped out. I have tried to fill the screwholes with wood filler, but the filler I used seems not to have been designed for this kind of work: the screws just rip it out when I start to tighten them.

Any suggestions for a filler compound that will bond to particle board and take a screw without crumbling?

Thanks all.
