What Finish To Use For Your Project
The black finish is the only finish we recommend for exterior use.
The oil rubbed bronze finish is recommended for interior use. The finish should darken over time and might develop a green patina if they are used in a humid environment.
If you use the sealed finishes outside we recommend the nails have limited expose to direct sunlight. You will need to recoat the nails with a sealer from time to time. It will vary depending on the elements they are exposed to. We recommend using Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Matte Clear Spray for resealing our nails.
The unfinished clavos will start to oxidize over time, especially if they are exposed to high levels of humidity.
Nails with our rusted finish are oxidized and have a residue that can rub off.
