Does (did) anyone wax screws before putting them in?
Wouldn't entertain a Phillips or Pozi head anywhere near any of our cars.. ugly things,useful for plasterboarding and suchlike though.
LH screws.. never seen the like before but how wonderful they were available along with an almost endless selection of sizes and head types.. only use Nettlefolds on framing from the box they come in to the lovely quality of the screw a delight to use.
.. and yes Dave,always use beeswax prior to fitting,it's only proper
