I have a problem with the panel screws behind the machines rusting. I replaced every screw about 6 months ago and they have rusted again. Is there a special type of screw that needs to be used? I order most things from grainger. The last screws I used advertised as "stainless steel" screws. It was a lot of work to replace them all. Then here it is 6 months down the line I'm right back where I started. Thanks for your help..

Sorry..
I should have been more clear.
It's the wooden chase panels behind the machines.
Sorry about that.

Can you coat them with a thin layer of clear silicone?

I don't know if this would work in your case but they make little plastic caps that cover the screw heads. I think Grainger and McMaster Carr both have them.
