couple of quick questions

[andymarshal]

Hi, im fitting my solid oak worktop this weekend and have been reading about a moisture barrier to go above washing machines and dishwashers, does anyone know where to get this and is it commonly used?

Also i read that you hve to use a different screw to fix it down so it doesnt react with the wood. But i cant remember which screws you had to use.

Thanks guys

Brass or (decent quality) stainless steel. You'll need the pilot hole to be a good fit so drill pilot hole, screw-in an ordinary steel screw (same size) about 80 to 90% of the way, back it out then insert the final screw the whole way (s/steel and brass aren't as elastic as steel and will shear off more easily)
