This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I thought maybe I had accidentally put the screw in there myself but my only other box of this color I bought is 3-1/2"

Plastic screws?
What coating is it?

Metal deck screws with a coating so they don't rust. They're the colour of pressure treated lumber.

Could also be an epoxy coating from type I've used a couple times.
