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 ? Simon. |

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. -- |

Anyone know what this coating is 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) |

Wickes "organic" coated screws
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: 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 ? Leprechaun snot. -- Dave |

Wickes "organic" coated screws
The message
from Andy Burns contains these words: 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) 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?" -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

No idea what it is, but I've used them on decking since 2000 with no real sign of corrosion. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
