Restoration of Old Screws Part 2

left side after, right side before

WD 40, fine grade steel wool, soft rag

Step one, spray screws with wd 40 while inside a small baggie, this evenly covers all screws with wd 40, then one by one hold screw in rag (but its easier to put screw into a drill, tighten grip and held drill in lap while polishing), polish with steel wool till shiny (push hard), then wipe off residue with soft rag. the before screw is dull and light in color, the after screw will be dark and shiny. also the oil will let screws go in easier especially if you had to purchase new screws that are a tight fit for the house. helps avoid post splitting.

 I cannot remember the replacement size, but possibly ⅜" sheet metal screws, just bring what you have to the hardware store and they have charts to match up odd screws, the big difference is that flat head screws are difficult to find nowadays, so you will likely be replacing them with phillips star heads.

Long screws are 1 ⅛" long, the short ones are 9/16" long
