Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Blue-Kote is Kreg's coating for exterior wood joinery, so use these for deck frames, fence rails and outdoor furniture built with pocket holes. Match 2-1/2 in. screws to 2x stock; for thinner boards step down to a shorter length to avoid breakthrough. Always use a fresh Kreg step bit and driver bit for clean joints.
Clamp workpieces securely and wear eye protection when driving pocket-hole screws, as a slipped joint or broken bit can cause injury.
