Default Re: Replacing screws.

I have used Plasticene for this purpose. A dab of Plasticene on the end of a piece of wire can also be used for retrieving screws, washers etc. that have fallen into the innards, but nowadays I use a small piece of Duct tape, adhesive side out, secured to the end of a piece of wire or whatever for retrieving fallen fasteners.
