Where to buy stainless steel brads?

[Ducay]

Putting together a privacy screen/trellis and need some stainless brads (2" 18gu), as its being made of ACQ.

Anyone know where to get some locally? Theres a few places online, but all the big box places I've been to locally don't carry them.

I think hulkrogan used all his nailing his windows and doors shut to keep the cokeheads out.

Shoulda asked me... I had to get stainless brads often back in the day - Easy to get in the SE Industrial Park:

- CALGARY FASTENERS & TOOLS LTD.
- THE BOLT SUPPLY HOUSE LTD.

I've bought SS brads and other fasteners at both places. Anything that works in CCA works in ACQ, as long as it's ASTM-A153 (for Hot-Dip fastener products) and ASTM-A653 (Coating Designation G-185 for Hot-Dip connector and sheet products).

Problem is most places (HD, ROna, Totem) don't carry, nor understand, the differences in galv. processes and assume galvanized is galvanized. Its easier just to just look for stainless.

I'll check out those 2 places come monday

Just curious -- what exactly is a Hot-Dip connector?

If you have to ask, baby, then you can't afford it

Ugh, no where in town seems to carry these, I've tried no less than 4 of the bigger fastener stores (Prime, Calfast, Cal Bolt&Sup)
