Has anyone heard that I can't use galvanized nails with cedar wood.
Someone has suggested that I will get some sort of chemical

My 30 year old cedar sided house has spiral galvanized nails, acrylic
"stain" and nary a rust spot. Maybe those old nails were better.
Does "They don't make them like they used to." soud familiar?? G
