Any advice on how to remove a screw thats 30years old has dry paint all over it and its rusted.thank you!?

Use a left hand bit. Some stores sell a screw removal bit. Both their threads are cut in the opposite way of the regular bit.





It can be used with a hand drill or t-wrench. When turned anti-clockwise, the bit will 'bite' deeper into the old screw. The regular threaded screw will unscrew as the bit turns.





These bits are normally very hard but brittle. They may, though rarely, snap inside of another screw, making unscrewing more difficult.





Otherwise you can pm me for renovation services. lolz.Any advice on how to remove a screw thats 30years old has dry paint all over it and its rusted.thank you!?
just put the screwdriver to it and give g good solid hit with a hammer this will drive the screw in a bit lossning the threads hold on the wood and creating a set for the screwdriverAny advice on how to remove a screw thats 30years old has dry paint all over it and its rusted.thank you!?
Assuming this screw has a slot head (being 30 years old) I would begin by clearing away the old paint. Use a paint striper or the old fashion way of digging out the old paint with a small screwdriver of knife. When screws are rusted in place you usually have very little choice other than the old turn or break method. Useing the largest screwdriver that fits in the slot, I would fit the screwdriver into the slot - give the screwdriver a tap with a hammer this may shock the screw. Using this screwdriver (sometimes with the aid of a pair of multigrips or similar) I would try to rapidly twist the screw. This will either work or not. If not try drilling out the screw by center punching it then with a very small drill, steadily drill it with ever increasing drill bits. There is a bolt removal bit called an 'easy out' that can be screwed into the screw and I have had some success with this. Good Luck
That's not THAT old. Thirty layers of paint IS many. Just chip off the paint to fit the screw driver head in the groove. It'll come out.
Clear the head so you can use a tool that fits it. Then using a very hot soldering iron heat the screw until it is very hot.


Cool it down using some ice cubes. The screw will expand with heat and contract with the cold and so break the rust seal. Hope this helps
