Default Galvanized Aluminum?

What the ~!? I think these nails are sub-standard because they bend
easily and because the zinc can peel. They are not suitable for use in

Comments? Experiences?


From what you've said you're right, they're not suitable for use with
ACQ lumber.

Aluminum fasteners are not to be used.

Galvanized nails must meet the ASTM A-153 standard. This usually means
double hot dipped (at minimum).
