I thought you could buy finish nails that had the adhesive coating on them = that melts from the friction of driving the nail and then rehardens. I'm h= aving trouble finding them though...25d, 15g, 2.5" long. How about staples= ? Can you get them with adhesive too? I'm probably just being ridiculous,= but it's for an overhead application and I want to be assured of long-term= durability. Thanks. JP
Nails for nail guns have that feature. I don't know of loose nails having that feature. You would be laboring to drive them, as they would be setting each time you hammered.

I know they made them a few years back, I've still got some 3" left over from a porch project.
And the adhesive doesn't set till the nail cools down. I guess if you waited 10 seconds or more between hammer hits you might have a problem, but not under normal use.

Finish nails were never cement coated. Cement coated nails come only as bo= x nails and were a cheaper alternative to ring-shanked nails, usually used = for sub-flooring. A good rule of thumb is to remember that nails are what = hold a project together until the glue dries. A thin layer of phenolic glu= e or a bead of construction adhesive, whichever is appropriate to the appli= cation and the size of stock, along with a proper pattern of nailing for th= e job is the right procedure.

Pretty common for nail gun "nails" that are glued together side by side to use that adhesive to hold them together and to glue them in the hole.
I would think that loose finish nails with this feature might be difficult to drive unless you can drive a finish nail with one blow in the exact direction you want. Remember that with each blow more of the nail adheres to the hole making each blow increasingly difficult.

You have 3" finish nails?
Oops, my brain must have skipped that word. No, mine are common nails, but I do see that another poster says he does have 3" finish nails.
Well to be fair I did not mean to sound as if there was no such thing. IIRC I has some when I was a kid back in the 60's. ;~) They were basically headless common nails and probably more commonly used before specialty nail guns became main stream.
I was just surprised to hear that some one still had a supply. ;~) Now I will go to HD and probably find countless boxes of 3" finish nails. LOL
"Finish" carpentry often requires SYP tubafours these days. ;)
No, finish uses QS SPF tubatoos. Framing requires SPF tubafores. At least around here. ;)

Larry, would be nice if you'd leave your political views out of forums like this.There are plenty of contentious sites where people might care one way or another what you think about politics and religion.

You admonitions might be more appreciated if you policed someone that still participates here. It might also be more effective if you would target a thread a bit more current, not one 2 1/2 YEARS old.

Rosin coated nails. I bought 8d, not sure of other sizes that have it.
