In Reply to: screw heads stripping out??? posted by Al E on December 22, 2002 at 05:00:26:
: I have been attempting to dry fit boat parts together by clamping the parts, predrilling the holes and then screwing the screws into th chines and side pieces of a boat.
: I seam to be destroying more screw heads than it is worth. I cannot get the screws to back out with a driver and bit and have had to resort to drilling out some of the screws.
: Should I use screws other than the galvanized screws listed on this site, or are there some type of sacrificial screws I could use. At $3.50 per 144 screws I don't want to waste any.
: Thanks
