I'm repainting my siding and in a few places there are nail heads with a

Any sanding or sealing will ultimately result with the rust returning. Remove the entire nail head. Use the drill bit available on nailheadgone.com. Best way to deal with nail heads.

They rusted 6 more time in the past 18 years, eventually the siding
fell off the home. And Ron moved to Africa.
