    Default No more ply screws

    well the floor is laid as best as possible, not having the pleasure of my bath sink or toilet removed prior to board laying i had to do the best that i could plus also the walls not perfectly straight, i used plenty of of mega adhesive and screws my question is the screws i cannot get perfectly flush with the board not one, they are only very very minutely pertruding up from the board does this make a difference i physiclly cannot tighten them anymore and i used a power screw driver as recommended by the manafacture. anyone else experienced this?
