Today I want to share with you two effective and simple ways to screw even long self-tapping screws into a wooden base without drilling.
Finding a drill of the right length is often not easy. And each new turn of the screw is given more and more difficult.
I propose to get straight to the point. I share with you useful construction life hacks! Use it!
Let's say we need to screw a long self-tapping screw into a wooden block.
There is no suitable drill in our arsenal, so we will not pre-drill the hole. It is unlikely that an ordinary screwdriver or screwdriver will cope with the task.
First option
Although the method is elementary, only a few know about it. We take ordinary soap, carefully rub the self-tapping screw with it, which we are going to screw in.
After the performed manipulations, the self-tapping screw will easily enter the tree. I note that if you screw it in with the usual method, the bar may crack. Using soap will minimize the risk of damage to the wood.
We considered an example when a self-tapping screw needs to be screwed across a bar. It's just the first thing that caught my eye. Thanks to the soap, the self-tapping screw will perfectly screw in both along and across the fibers.
Second option
In general, the second method is similar to the first. Suppose that for a number of reasons you cannot use soap. Then a candle comes to the rescue. The self-tapping screw must be well rubbed with wax.
Actually, this is the whole secret. The self-tapping screw will also easily fit into the end of a wooden block.
I also heard that some pre-drip oil onto the screw. But this may leave traces on the tree. In the case of soap and a candle, such problems are not observed.
