[QUOTE="Mark_Fisher, post: 427009, member: 19867"] Um, Randyo3649, you are holding the plywood against the AL, right? If so, the threads don't need to hold in the wood - it's the head that holds the wood down. The screw's thread is what is pulling the AL up. How thick is the AL you are fastening to? If it's a thwart, it might be pretty thin. That means they will be easy to strip. You can either drill undersize pilot holes or finish driving the screws by hand JUST until the ply is brought down.
