Trade Fix Round Screws
Roundhead Screws
Used mostly for fixing items without countersink holes. The top is rounded screws sits out from the surface.
Using brass screws as brass is a soft metal, it's important to make a pilot hole in any material before a brass screw is driven in. A quick and simple tip is to take a steel screw of the same gauge and size and screw this in to form the threads. Rub the brass screw along a candle or use petroleum jelly to lubricate it, making turning easier. Does not use too much force or the head will shear off. |
