I am looking to get another screw like this one. I believe that it is made of brass. This one is used to connect a plate on a purse clasp, but its peer went missing. It is a Phillip's head screw. Any help is very appreciated!
Try McMaster-Carr, Fastenal or you can search Amazon. The first step will be identifying what you have. You will need to know the diameter, the number of threads per inch and how long it is (grip) or the metric equivalent. My guess is it is a #2 but it will take careful measuring to know.
Visit a big box store. They have screw templates that ID screw size, pitch etc. Once you have that figured out you can easily find a replacement altough you may have to cut it to the correct length. Option #2, if you have a real old school hardware in your area, they can hook you up.
I can't tell, even enlarging the pictures, but that screw may have an undercut head. They are used to secure thin material when a standard flat-head bottoms out "early". I wouldn't be surprised if it is literally an odd size, like a #3.

You know the GE stuff in a small tube or a caulking gun.
I'm referring to the small tube. Most uses are for gluing thing together as opposed to caulking a tub or a sink that will need a large tube and use almost all of it. Once it's opened it has very short shelf life. I'm looking for a way to preserve an opened tube for perhaps weeks or even months. The nozzle is the section that cures within a day. I've tried the nail, the awl, the wire. None of it clears the nozzle enough to get a good usable flow. Anybody have any ideas?

[h1]Looking for some suggestions or advice.
This is my daughter-in-law’s rocking chair. The glue and fasteners have dried out and the chair is falling apart. The unit is put together using those threaded inserts for wood hex drive threaded wood inserts.
It appears they were already glued into the wood, and it dried out. Repeated tightening has caused the insert to be stripped in the wood. They no longer grip.
My thoughts were not to replace the inserts but to glue in an oversize dowel in the hole and then use a wood screw to fasten the chair back together. Or should I buy oversized inserts? Or are there any other methods I might consider?
