I am tying to make some large pikies and giant jointed copies and I'm having trouble sourcing the ss screws. Been to a few hardware stores now, going to give fastenal a shot.Should I be looking for roundhead screws to secure lips in place or should they be countersunk? I was thinking of trying these out, #4-22 x 1/2" Slotted Round Head Wood Screw, 18-8 Stainless Steel | Fastenal (http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=0174388) . Would #4 be the size to get or #2? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the responses guys. Saw them listed on m&d's website but when I click on the "screws for lips" it goes to a blank page. Was hoping to find them local as I no longer have a paypal or credit card.
