Reinhard and Harry; Thanks for the tip! The stores are open again today, maybe see if I can find some brass screws to use instead.

Gary; It sticks pretty well. I was getting a little worried based on what you guys are telling me now, so I just tried to pry off one of the track ends with a screwdriver. It wouldn't budge, in fact the screw itself came loose from the frame. I think I'll just leave them as they are for now, and replace them with brass screws if they ever come loose later.

I see no reason to replace the screws with brass screws. It is just easier to solder with brass screws.
Ones when I had no brass screws at hand I did use "silver looking" screws and it worked too. I did sand the top to make it very clean, used some soft solder flux and heated the screw very intensive (the wood started to smell ). I works but it is simply easier if you have brass screws at hand.
