    McFeely's, Coatings ?

    Need to order some square drive screws, what coating do you find most useful. To many choices for me to make up my own mind . Most use would be furniture and wood is maple. Thanks.

    If its for furniture assembly I assume they will not show. I use dry lube steel. Decorative screws are brass or brass plated steel.

    Thanks Curt and Glenn. Any preference for fully threaded or partial threaded screws ?

    I typically buy the yellow zinc for general purpose use. I do use some of their stainless products; not necessarily because I need stainless, but because the particular size and format I use on my tack trunk projects is only available in stainless.
