I only remembered they sell them because I was the 'Expert Plumber' in one of their warehouse stores in-between jobs. Don't tell anyone, that's between me and you.

Imagine how I feel then when I need something on a Sunday that we have in stock. Do I get in the car, drive to warehouse, unset alarm, search 15,000 square feet for wherever we keep it (its never where I remember from 20 yrs ago!) eventually get item, re-set alarm, drive home again?

Or do I nip round to B&Q which is 2 mins away, and pay retail for it, whilst cursing under my breath the whole time?

Screwfix? White domed cap screws? What happened to the good old 2 1/2" 3" brass screws.

Brass does not corrode just tarnishes, never use steel (iron)

The strongest caps are sold at the plastic centre that sells plastic architraves and beading for double glazing. All the ones from the diy places dont last very long and if you are too heavy on the screws they split.

I got the ones from toolstation this morning. To small they were though. So I ended up mastic ing them onto the screws. Do the come in different sizes?
