Sounds like you're suggesting screwing into a repair made with putty? Putty is cosmetic, and will not hold a screw, It would all come out of the hole even if you tried this.

I think this answer is correct but need a lot of clarification on what types of putty are appropriate, and if any techniques (taping, etc) are needed.
