As far as I know, I've never left a godawful mess doing this 
repair, nor have I ever, that's *EVER* known first hand of a 
screw buzzing in this situation. If I had, I'd likely have a 
different opinion. So for me, the job is finished when the 
screw is tight and the squeeze out is mopped up. I may yet get 
a call any minute now about a buzzing screw from that last job 
I did, but it's pretty quiet so far.
