Bright nails instead of galvanized on siding
Hi all,
I just shot some brights into Hardiplank siding (I was out of galvanized for my gun and couldn't find any in time). How long do you think it will take to see the rust streaks? Thanks, Budman |

Thanks, Budman Seal each nail head well before painting will delay it. If you were planning on stain, forget it. Harry K |

Thanks, Budman Don't feel too bad. My next door neighbor bought a fence, pieces assembled at the fence company, and they didn't use galvanized either. I don't know if he complained or not, but the fence is still there. OTOH, the fence company is out of business.

I just repainted my garage door. Stupid me used sandpaper to smooth the door
and went right over the bolts holding it together thus taking off the galvinization on the top of the bolts. That was last week and the rust is already bleeding thru the paint. I will try to seal it with some Kilz but I suspect I will be replacing some bolts before the summer is over.
