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.

hit them with a brush-full of "extend" rust converting primer, then
paint over them. Knock off as much rust as you can first.

I'd just get a spray can of Kilz and spray them, after sanding off any
thick rust.

Extend was recommended 18 years ago when the question was first asked. If it's still
around, it must be good. ;-)

Personally, I prefer Extenze. Of course, it hurts a bit when I knock the rust off.

Using a brush, use a separate container, Putting a contaminated brush
back into the original container, will make it harden in due time.

I know Oren does, but I've not seen any others that seem to know it
(until now).

Thanks for your support! [g]

Actually I had skipped over some of the posts and came back to them to
voice my views. After the fact I do see you were right on top of it long
before me.
