Cement-coated nails are used as substitutes for commonwire nails. Ordinarily wire nails are shipped in lots of 100 pounds per keg,but the shipping weight of cement-coated nails varies from 88pounds for 2ds to 90 pounds for 60ds. However, there are as 360 HANDBOOK FOR RANGERS AND WOODSMEN. Fig. 235.—Wire nails. many per keg as there are common wire nails of a correspondingsize, the difference in weight being due to the hghter gauge. They are also used where more adhesive resistance is requiredthan is furnished by a common wire nail. It is claimed that thecement coating renders them from 20% to 30% more durablewhen exposed to extreme moisture. In a comparative test ofadhesive resistance, a common wire 8d nail, driven 2 inches,showed a resistance of 146 pounds; a cement-coated nail of thesame size, driven a Hke distance, showed a resistance of 322pounds.
