What happens here
Begin by taking a specialized concealment cap that matches the color and texture of your composite decking or siding. Position this cap directly over the pre-set screw head or the designated hole. Then, using a specialized manual driving tool (often provided by the decking manufacturer or part of a specific fastening system like Cortex or Trex), press and drive the cap firmly into the hole. The goal is to seat the cap just slightly below the surface of the decking material.
Goal: Securely place the cap slightly below the surface of the decking
