making an outdoor piece and wondered what the black cabinet screws
are coated with and if they are suitable for outdoors

had some shiny green coated screws on hand and used those as they
were separated from their original box was unsure if they were an
outdoor coating but i think they were



but i wonder if there are any simple tricks to test for different
coatings that anyone has

maybe a vinegar test would do

black {iron} oxide
Yes as long as you don't mind rust

Just use bronze - not brass - or stainless steel. Galvanized is OK too but
hot dipped galvanized fasteners have become scarce.

FWIW, galvanized is getting hard to come by. Galvanizing doesn't work
and play well with "environmentally-friendly" pressure treat so they
have gone to other coatings.
