O-Ring Question
The later version of the Brunton Autoprop is greased by removing two screws in each blade boss, and pumping waterproof grease through one until clean grease comes out the other one.
These screws have tiny o-rings on them which get squashed and squeezed out if you tighten the screws down properly.
I just don't like this. I have lost screws out of this prop before and I don't want to leave them slack enough to baby the o-rings. What if I were to use fibrous washers instead? Or some gasket compound?
Anyone have any tips?

Cushion me soft . . . . rock me in billowy drowse,
Dash me with amorous wet . . . . I can repay you."
