advice on renewing screws in ceramic brick

So.. when a 'normal' screw gets loose you can re-fill and drill the hole,
or get a larger, longer screw. Larger and longer are not a plus for a
ceramic kiln that could export heat. Any way to refill the hole? Lesley

Lesley,

Is this a question you are posing to us? I noticed you posted again,
but I was never able to find an original posting by someone wanting to
put screws is what sounds like soft brick. Is this the case? Why is
someone wanting to screw into soft brick?

Curious,
