About the blurry reflection, I tried adding a layer of transparent and
reflective "varnish"... however, the results were not that impressive, and
the render time was awfully increased. Do you know of a better way of doing
it?

About the seam, I was going to do it, but I forgot :P

About the placement, I totally agree, but as the screws are located
randomly, some intersections may occur, and I had to disperse them more to
avoid that, without having to place them individually... Yes, I admit I'm a
bit lazy, he he he
