I bought a box of finish nails (from the BORG) last week to install some light-painted crown molding. The nails are labeled "bright" but are not shiny like they used to be. They are covered with grease or graphite or something that gives them a dull gray color. The nails are turning my fingers black and leaves marks on the molding/walls. I end up washing my hands with Lava soap and cleaning the walls/molding every two hours. Anyone know about this stuff? I believe it is a coating to prevent rust but I'm not sure. Finish nails used to be clean.
