Stainless Steel Screws

I can't seem to find any nylon screws anywhere around here for a project I'm doing. The screws won't be in any direct contact with the water, so I was wondering if I could use stainless steel screws. Is this a good or bad idea?

you should be fine with stainless steel.

if you go to a good hardware store you might find some in the plumbing section like for toilet bowls. not sure if thats the kind you need or not but thats where i found some to work for me.
