  • Like some sort of serrated washer?

    Otherwise I'm not sure I understand how a washer will stop a coach bolt turning?

    Going to see if I can sneak into the shed at lunch to see how the glue has gone off. Didn't seem that cold overnight so I'm hopeful.

    Just so close right now I can almost taste it. OH is having a girls weekend soon as well.

    Will take note and use lock tight instead of locknuts in future.

  • I understood that as you tightened the M6 bolt its head damaged the timber.
    The washer under the 'too small' head of the M6 bolt will spread the force over the area of the washer, making it unlikely you can damage the timber as the nut is tightened.
