FL12 Glue for battens

Thanks, I have some torx deck screws. They're long but I won't drive them in all the way.

Also, 'crack' the screws about 6/8 hours later (unscrew 1/16th of a turn and then re-tighten). The epoxy is strong enough to not care at that point, and it won't re-bond to the screw. I 'screwed' this up once and had to heat gun the screw heads to soften the epoxy around them so they wouldn't break. I also follow Larry's idea. Digging drywall screws out becasue they snapped off is no fun!

Thanks for the additional tip. Drywall screws are hardened and prone to snapping under pressure. I am away from the boat during the week and won't be going there this weekend so I'm kind of chomping at the bit. This is my first and I am over the top excited!

I try to loosen "crack" them by hand with a screw driver, then spin them out with drill/driver; cuts down on broken off screw heads.

I use my hammer drill in reverse to back out the cheap drywall screws. Works like a charm.
