- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q1: What does “YP” mean?
A: YP stands for Yellow Passivated, a type of corrosion-resistant coating that also provides a neat, gold-like finish. -
Q2: Are these screws suitable for hardwood?
A: Yes. The cutter tip is designed to reduce splitting and works effectively in both soft and hardwoods. -
Q3: Do I need to drill pilot holes?
