Once painted over it may be ok, but why not just spot fill the nail holes
with putty or your choice of product, and just sand those down. Seems
easier. Or is that what you mean when you say you will apply some over the
strip? There is not heat in the garage - correct? Do you currently
experience condensation in the winter time?

No condensation that I have noticed. Maybe because the garage shares a
wall and the whole attic with the rest of the house.


I've had moisture issues in my
garage so severe that the floor was wet to the point of almost puddling
water, yet never experienced any issues with any of the joint compound in
the garage.
