I've never used JB Weld but I know a lot of people swear by it (not at it ;-D ).

That sounds like a good method of holding the loosened screws in place. May I suggest that you use fiberglass fibers to thicken your JB weld resin the next time. They are much stronger than paper fibers. You can find small repair packets of fiberglass cloth at any hardware store - just cut short lengths of fiber from the ends of the cloth. Also, store your JB Weld in a refrigerator. It will have a longer storage life if kept there rather than in your toolbox. You just need to remind yourself to get it out of the refrigerator before you leave on a trip.
