Default Popped screws in deck
I have to screw my deck down cause some of the screws do not tighten cause the holes stripped what I would like to know did anyone ever use well nuts to fix this problem? I know about epoxying plastic squares under but I have a bunch of well nuts and I think it would be easier but I don't know if they would hold up

They're an expanding plug. You can look at them in this link.

Seems like they would work great. I would worry about the screw getting corroded and sticking in the insert. Can u get them with stainless threads or maybe use brass screws?

If they aren't stainless or brass, don't use them.

try Fasco stainless togglers if you can drill thru...

What deck screws down? Do you mean the fuel tank hatch?
