I thought you could buy finish nails that had the adhesive coating on them that melts from the friction of driving the nail and then rehardens.

I'm probably just being ridiculous, but it's for an overhead application and I want to be assured of long-term durability.
Thanks.

Pretty common for nail gun "nails" that are glued together side by side
to use that adhesive to hold them together and to glue them in the hole.

I would think that loose finish nails with this feature might be
difficult to drive unless you can drive a finish nail with one blow in
the exact direction you want. Remember that with each blow more of the
nail adheres to the hole making each blow increasingly difficult.
