List,
Just a follow-up from yesterday… I posted a question about how to ID aluminum angle if there were no ID marks on it. There ensued a variety of answers (imagine that!), all of them helpful and enlightening.
The best suggestion may have come from Bill Naumuk and another lister (maybe Jay in Texas), to call the supplier and get more info from them. Fortunately, there was a Lot # on the piece, and without leading the supplier to an answer, they looked it up and immediately identified it as 6061.
When I questioned them about the profile they simply replied that their supplier always provides it in that profile.
I’ll go ahead with the pieces I purchased and if I crash & die I’ll come back and haunt that establishment ‘till the end of time….

Gary-
Good. Now that that's over you can come over and help me install soffit and fascia. You should be able to make it by next week.
Flying at 10000' doesn't bother me a bit, but I keep forgetting where the last rung of the ladder is. Crash every time.
Our old corded phone died (Got to keep one around if the power goes out), which was connected to my wife's computer, which was connected to the DSL line, which was connected to her MFC, yada, yada, yada. Bottom line is, I lost every list posting for the last 2 days.
Don't let it go to your heads, but coming home to the list after a day in the crock pot is the high point of my day. I'm not in a pressure cooker, they slow-roast me!

| Quote: | I like to point here that I bought 6061T6 at a local
supplier of aluminum. He showed me 6061T351 and that
didn't have a radius in the fillet it was plainly
a straight angle. I told him it was the wrong one
and he had to cut me 6061T6, all 35 feet of it. So
specify that you need 6061T6 that has that radius.
