S/S screw + Fiberglass
NEVER, never, never ever use fasteners in FG! They always fail. Fasteners
apply concentrated load to a very small area. The correct method is to bond
into the FG structure either metal or wood to accept the fastener and spread
the load over a wide area.

Has anyone try to put s/s self tapping screws into fiberglass and have the
screw break.. :-( Can a put liquid soap or grease/oil on the screw
before screwing it in to the fiberglass??
Any ideas??
