Hi all,
what would be the best way to prevent floorboards from splitting when driving screws into them. I have read about 3 things so far:
- drill pilot hole to accomodate countersunk head
- use partly threaded screws
- use waxed screws
Which one works best ? Do you know of any other factors ?
I know pilot hole helps, but it's not very efficient if you have to drill two times for one screw. Is there a screw type/technique that allows to avoid that ?
many thanks for your help,
