    Carl,

    Make sure you get the special screws that reduce the problem of mushrooming with Trex, and practice setting them in a scrap piece. Takes a little fiddling with your drill's torque setting. Better to leave them a little high and finish by hand if you can't get it set exactly right. This will give a much better appearance.

    Thanks! I've been simply using a counter-sink drill first, so it doesn't mushroom.

    If you can - secure the trex from underneath - very classy.
