Default Re: Replacing screws.

When fitting a screw that has a washer or 2 to go on as well I often wrap some solder around the screw and it holds the washers in place and you can wrap the solder around the shaft of the screwdriver as well. Because solder is so pliable it holds it all really securely. Once the screw is screwed in a few turns you simply unwind the solder. This works much more securely than glue or blu tack etc plus it holds the washers in place too.
