stuck screw?

2008-07-24 by jeffc@netaxs.com

anyone have a tip for a frozen and rusted tape hold down screw?
this frame shows lots of rust on the screws/washers.
i have managed to get ALL BUT ONE SCREW free.
the frustration is growing.
i need this frame loaded TODAY for delivery tomorrow.

why is always what is supposed to be the easy part that ends
up... scewing me? [pun intended angrily]

i just can't get one to budhge, and now the screwtop is starting
to get worn down, so the scrwdriver does not sit tightly... and
it's getting worse...

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
