Drywall screws to hold strip planking
Has anyone ever used drywall screws (the black ones for screwing
plasterboard - I think you call it sheetrock in the US- onto metal studs and plastering over) for holding the strips in the right alignment, instead of wooden dowels and/or plywood cleats, or is it a really dumb idea? I mean just for those annoying bits where the new strip won't quite line up over the one in place. The screws don't rust as far as I know and as the whole lot is encapsulated in epoxy afterwards I doubt if they ever would. I've used them for fixing things into wood for years and never noticed any detrimental effect, so I doubt that they would cause an damage to the wood, assuming a pilot hole was drilled first. It's just that they are so cheap and are so easy and quick to screw in. Another Pete |
