Aaaahhh , beeswax ! Great idea , thanks . BTW Chris ,
when you drive these use a brand new bit in your screw
gun . They turn tough and if you cam the bit outta the
socket yer screwed .

Wonder where I'd get bees wax?

And, yes, the new screw driver bit is also
a great idea. I've heard that thunk-thunk-thunk
noise a few times.

One of the best things to turn in tapcons is a brace with appropriate
bit...plenty of leverage, lets you turn in slow and to the proper torque,
That's particulatry important with a threshold because if you torque too
much you are going to deform the (probably) hollow threshold (unless it has
a support under it).
And just a wee bit past that, you break off the tapcon. Tapcons are
like drywall screws - if they give AT ALL they snap. Not made to be
used where any lateral stress/movement can occur.
