I would like suggestions for a table repair, please. I think the material is particle board. The table was exposed to rain briefly. The laminated table top was probably not properly glued when it was manufactured. The laminated top surface is probably melamine. The underside (of the table top) is probably also melamine. The result of the rain is that the particle board absorbed moisture. The pictured screw pulled out. The screw is 22 millimeters long. The metal that the screw passes through is also pictured. I estimate the screw had a purchase of about 4 millimeters in the particle board before it pulled out. The particle board is about 12 mm.

Under normal use this might not matter but I have a need to sometimes lift the table by the top so yes, the separation was caused by misuse.

What is an easy, inexpensive fix? Is there a way to glue the underside surface of the table top to a metal (folded sheet metal) bar I would even consider that if I knew what type of glue that would be. An easy fix I just thought of now, would be to shoot wood glue into the hole and set the screw into the wet glue.

I will replace the whole table in about 2 weeks so a fix doesn't need to last forever.
