Working With Screws

 

Screws, They can keep so many things together. But they can be frustrating to work with. Well, I have a few tips to make the job easier.

If you have a loose screw that just won't stay in place, all you need is some clear nail polish. Just take the nail polish and paint the bottom of the screw. Put the screw back into place. It will act like a glue and keep it nice and snug.

When removing screws an easy way to keep track of them is just to grab some masking tape. Unravel a few inches and when you take out your screws just stick them to the tape. Now you know exactly where they are when you need them. You can also use a piece of cardboard. Just poke the screws into the corrugated center.
