[Antennas] Metalic Reactions?

Here is a method I have used many times and works well.
Use an aluminum screw longer than the depth of the hole. Screw it in as far 
as it will go (bottom it out). Next cut off the remaining portion so that 
about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch remains about the top surface. Get a small 
ball pin hammer and pin the portion of the screw that is above the surface. 
Use many small blows until the screw portion has expanded good and tight. 
Finally using a file remove any of the screw portion above the surface. If 
done right you can hardly notice it.
Hope this helps.
