- How do I consistently drive drywall screws to the correct depth?
The biggest mistake you can make when screwing in drywall is to drive the screw too deeply, tearing the paper outer layer The paper is what's holding the plaster inside together enough to be screwed down in the first place, so keeping it intact is the key to a secure connection
- Finishing drywall: How do I finish over screws that refuse to recess . . .
If I had known in the beginning what I know now, I would have installed the QuietRock as the first layer and used special backer board screws with a square-shaped bit since this phillips bit wants to slip out of the screw head with a loud "ratta tat tat!" So now I am stuck with some screws that stick out slightly from the surface of the drywall
- Drywall surrounding vent no longer supports screws;
Screws that normally fix the vent in place can't do their job anymore The drywall has crumbled to the point that the tapped hole for the screw lacks a boundary with the duct (Picture attached ) Perhaps: The cutout for the original vent larger than necessary, forcing the screws to be closer to the duct than is optimal?
- Drywall screws for subfloor - Home Improvement Stack Exchange
By "drywall screws", I think you are meaning 1 5 8" blued screws I do not think that they would be a good choice We usually shoot down plywood subflooring with 2 1 2" to 3" ring shank nails, however 2" to 2 1 2" decking screws work well, but just a lot more work
- What are the implications of driving a drywall screw too far into the . . .
It's not essential to pull the old screws, the damage has already been done and will be mudded over But you should add a second screw a few inches away anywhere you went too deep This is a critical repair for drywall on the ceiling, and a very good idea for drywall mounted on the wall
- Are these drywall screws driven too deep into the sheet?
The other problem with driving drywall screws with a regular #2 Phillips bit is that screws driven too deep will not have the holding power and the screws will pull through, leaving the sheet unattached to the studs This is especially important when hanging rock on ceilings These are the proper tools and bits
- What is the weight capacity of your typical 2 1 2 drywall screw when . . .
The shear strength of drywall screws is pretty weak, because they placed most of the design in the threads and the head to grip the drywall rather than in the shaft of the screw The screw itself will bend and break pretty easily, which is why you mount things with appropriate brackets and bolts into the stud when you need to hold a lot of weight
- Can I use fine-thread drywall screws with wood framing?
It's fine They are primarily intended for metal studs but they will work fine in wood Think about the force required to physically pull out one screw - even a fine threaded screw Now given the fact that each sheet of drywall will typically have about 32 screws, the drywall itself will fail long before the screw is pulled out
