Drilling in Wood

Make the job easier and prevent splitting the wood. Drill a pilot hole, and apply liquid soap to the screw. The screw will go in as 'greased' and the soap will dry to help prevent it from coming loose in the future (a drop or two on the screw is sufficient).

RE: Drilling in Wood

I take a wax toilet bowl seal and dip the first few threads of the screw in it. The seal is soft wax, so you can mold it to fit into a tuna fish can or other container.
