used #10 available at Ace Hardware. I simply removed the screw, filled
the hole with NP-1 caulk and wiped off the excess with mineral
spirits. The original screw sealant was some sort of putty; cannot
call the name at this time; looks just like plumbers putty. Perhaps
someone else remembers. As I recall a #6 screw a 1/8" drill bit but
double check before drilling. #10 might be a 3/16" don't remember.
Stainless screws eliminates 99% of black streaks.
