Mixed sizes

Size mismatches can cause some problems.

Nuts and washers larger than bolts WILL eventually find their way on to a bolt.  They may or may not eventually fall off again.  Washers are thin enough that they don't seem to affect how the bolt plates, but nuts are wide enough that they will shadow the bolt, and neither the bolt, or inside of the nut, will plate adequately.

I've found it better to plate bolts in a separate run from nuts & washers.
