DIY - help please
I have a pine bed that has slats that are no longer stuck to the frame. I intended to just get new screws but there are no local DIY shops and Woolworthss has closed down. All DIY shops are out of town and I have no car ........ etc
Can I superglue the slats back down?
I hammered in the screws when I put the bed together - but couldn't give them a enough of a bash to get them right in.

It doesn't say whether to make holes before trying to stick a screw in to join the two planks together. I tried earlier and the screw kept wobbling and whirling around but not going into the wood.
I will leave it until tomorrow - try and replan my attempt.

I am considering buying some screws for this job and another off ebay.
The other screw that I need is 50mm long with a 50p shaped head to it. Do I measure just the long bit of the screw or from the head? The ebay seller that I found gave two different measurements for the screw - 9mm x 50mm (can't remember the actual figures).
Thanks for any help that anybody can give.
