SS Screws safe around SW?

[tim the toolman]

SS is a good option, as well what I did was countersink the screw and top the head off with clear silicone to prevent water from ever contacting the steel and also it peels out quite easily if you ever need to remove them.

If you can't find them easily, I've seen them in Electronic stores such as RP Electronics and MRO. Maybe you've someone out your way.

It's self tapping machine screws that I am looking for. Have never seen them in other than steel. But there is that electronics shop on 64th Ave near the Crappy Tire in Langley, so might be worth a check.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and suggestions.

If you really want the good stuff, talk to Pacific Fasteners in Burnaby, they have anything you could ever want in the best stainless money can buy
