Press firmly into the screw head to force the rubber into the uniquely ... duct tape relies on its combined stickiness and strength to create a bridge between the driver and screw.

I admit that the third screw here (metal to wood ... they have specialized experience in fastener strength. That’s where this expensive wafer head comes in. I’ve used it to do everything ...

Part of that is probably because we’ve gotten so good at making them that they’re seen as cheap commodities, but the physics and engineering behind the screw thread is interesting stuff.

By applying a significant amount of heat to the screw head, the adhesive starts to give. After heating, working the screw back and forth breaks the threadlocker, thus freeing the screw.
