Michigan deck builder installing cortex deck screw in trex

If you are using pressure treated wood. These screws are NOT what you want to use. The head is way to small to handle the torque of a 3" screw. You'll normally find a #2 head these are #1 and love to strip out wrecking the board.

If you need to remove a plug - screw a tiny wood screw into the plug and pull

it out with a pair of pliers

if i need to replace the board? how do you get to the screw?

drill out the plug with a 3/16" drill bit, the use a "2 square drive to remove screw
