Hi all. Need help from the HM brain trust.
Im having my black deck railing re powder coated along with the brackets. Let’s just say the painters that were hired didn’t mask off and thought that painting in wind was a good idea.
I will need to reinstall my black metal deck railing that was installed with specialty brackets and 5/16” wood screws. Lengths varied between 1.5” to 3” but that’s not really relevant. I broke a screw today when removing them and don’t want to use the same screws. Don’t want any more issues.
If I bought new woods screws from Home Depot and had them powder coated at the same time the railing and brackets were redone, is there any issue with the heat of the powder coating process weakening the wood screws. I’m not going to growl on the screws on install since the head can damage the brackets, so they will be installed reasonably.
Im trying to prevent a problem by getting new screws and don’t want an issue having made an assumption that the powder coating would not effect the screws.
Thanks in advance for the help! I greatly appreciate it.
