Where did you source the 360 l screws?
We are in the US until end October and could order them on line before departure to the Caribbean

re caulking of stanchion base
Hello!
i have some very light rust stains at the base on some of my stanchion bases, which is the best way to re caulk them?
Any idea how to get stubborn screws to loosen up?
