Hi   

In a week or so my doors will go for painting. Before this happens I'd like too reinforce the screw holes that attach the doors to the hinges. It has been suggested that I use countersunk washers (which I will) held in place with thinned epoxy.  

I am not sure if this is over kill, but to protect the paint from chipping and the washers from discolouring, I was thinking of putting a layer of thin glass cloth over the washers first.   

Has anyone done anything like that? Am I being a touch to anal?   

Inquiring minds need to know.

I'm not there yet, but as a general rule if I use the Tinnerman     washers, I paint where the washer goes and then paint the screw and     washer separately.  Wait until the paint is thoroughly hardened     before driving the screws tight.

Thinking the hinge on the door side shouldn't be coming  off for any reason, I recall I used epoxy and flox to attach the hinge to the  door, so the 4 screws are basically holding it in place but technically the  strength is in the epoxy holding the hinge and door and the screws are  reinforcing the bond. I'm having a hard time thinking how the screws will fit  the countersunk with glass over them. Also why don’t you just epoxy the washer  on after spraying a self etching primer on the washers?, paint them and there  should be no reason that they would chip.  I have found, since we are using  the same primer, that  the DTM wash primer has worked better for me with  pieces than the 988 has however.
