Except it comes in nice rolls and you don't have to sand the lacquer off. ��

Kent is that what you were using in the gas welding aluminum video? I remember you talking about it being on a roll.

Yes, big roll that was sliced 1/2 in the band saw.

When the mistake was discovered it was to late to get everything redone so they went out with the spelling mistake. The Massena, NY plant was the first aluminum reduction facility built for mass production in the US. Edited by Joe Hartson
A nice story, but the two spellings "aluminum" and "aluminium" predate the existence of Alcoa by probably 100 years. It was because Sir Humphrey Davy was inconsistent with the spelling when he discovered the element and both spellings propagated. Aluminum became dominant in the UK, and aluminum in the US.

Default Update on being out of 1100

If your like me, now that you have a new supply of rod you find 1/2 of a pack in plane site. Now you have a 2 year supply. Fred26thttp://www.allmetalshaping.com/images/icons/icon_lol.gif
