:~) I guess you could say that about the zinc plated Velveta cheese
screws also. Their sole purpose is to entice you to purchase them,
mission accomplished.


The Velveta cheese is a lubricating agent, in case you can't find soap or
wax. ;-)


"Velveeta" and "American" are not cheeses, and because of this, they
have to call 'em "cheese food" or "processed cheese product", and
leaving rotting processed cheese product on a project is akin to
smearing stain and poly all over 'em.

It just isn't _DONE_!

Drill and countersink/bore holes when possible and use Type 17 screws
for a much easier time when you can't/don't/won't.
