Latch strike shitty diy help
Ok so the picture shows what I’m trying to do. Door and frame are warped, to close and lock door latch strike had to be migrated down a bit. I am obviously poor and need a quick but (hopefully?) somewhat solid fix. I need to be able to sink that top screw in the void. How can I fill this in and reset where this strike sits? Don’t need to be scolded, I came to SHITTY diy for a reason.

How do I get more toxic VOC's from my water based paints?
From https://homebaseproject.org/varathane-vs-minwax-polyurethane/
Understand one thing the Water-based polyurethane stains are superior to oil-based ones because that the drying time is quick and it is difficult to coat
Makes sense, right? Being difficult to coat is attractive for sure. But two lines down we see the real issue:
But the problem with the water-based polyurethane is that the water-base does not give much fragrance and it will dry quickly. On the other hand, Oil-based polyurethane is provided with better fragrance.
How do we get around this? Can I just pour a gallon of paint thinner out all over the house?

Don't have the funding to invest in a good mic or mic stand for streaming, so I took the detachable mic from my gaming headset, a 3.5mm extender, an old wire music stand, and some electrical tape to make this
