Info Body screw tips

Have read about dripping some glue down the post and insert an oily screw to form the thread. Can only see myself gluing the screw in place!

If you adhere to the process in the first post and start your screws anticlockwise until they seat, (and don't reef them tight) they should last indefinitely. As well, often folks end up using different screws for each body post, so reinserting the same screw into the post will help.

That said, folks do strip body posts so.......you can put some styrene glue into each stripped post, let it dry, and re insert the screw (zero need to oil it).

If the post is really bad, you can find some styrene rod  the same diameter as your post hole (evergreen makes tons of various diameters), glue this into the post with styrene glue or plastic weld. let it dry, and drill a new hole.
