Wickes "organic" coated screws
 

Wickes sell a range of exterior screws / bolts etc that have a green
coating described as "organic". Anyone know what this coating is, and
how resistant it may be ?

Probably a fluoropolymer.

They usually offer much better protection than any basic plating
process. Lots of vehicle manufacturers at the "high end" are now
routinely using them in exposed locations.

Dunno, but it does make the nails quite easy to drive home (and perhaps
disconcertingly easy to pull out too certainly don't be tempted to get
away with ones that are "nearly" long enough)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "sm_jamieson"
saying something like:

Leprechaun snot.

The message
from Andy Burns contains these words:

The neighbour's lad asked if I had any nails suitable for holding some
bits of gash fencing to a fence post. I gave him some 3" annular nails.
A bit later "Guy - how do I get them out again?"

No idea what it is, but I've used them on decking since 2000 with no real
sign of corrosion.
