FAQ

How long should the bolt be?
Short enough that it does not reach the inside of the dome, or the nut will bottom out before it tightens.

What does 10-24 or 1/4-20 mean?
The first number is the diameter (a screw gauge number such as #10, or a fraction of an inch) and the second is threads per inch. A 10-24 screw is #10 diameter with 24 threads per inch.

Do brass fasteners rust?
No. Brass contains no iron, so it does not rust. It will tarnish and darken over time, especially outdoors. Polish it to keep it bright or let it age to a natural patina.
