Horsebox repair - finishing touches

    Hi all,
    Hope this is the right forum.

    I had the panelling replaced on the roof of my horsebox and it was secured from the inside using washer head lag screws. My concern now is that the heads of these screws are quite sharp and may pose a hazard to my horses when they're getting into the box.
    Is there anything out there like a rubber seal-type strip I could get to put over these screws and that would stick on firmly around the inside of the roof of the box?
    I tried googling this but I'm obviously not using the right phrase!

    Thanks!

    Don't know about rubber strips, maybe someone else could help there, but could you try Sugru - mouldable rubber glue - it would stick well to the roof and the screws and you could mould it into a rounded shape to avoid horses hitting any sharp edges.

    Rubber will just eventually wear and fall off

    You need to replace the bolts with something like these :


    ( smooth dome end to the inside )
