Actually while were on this note I wish to make all scratch builders
that it has been brought to our attention that 6061-T6 alum manufactured
in China with a sheet marking starting with H (I can 't remember the
name at this moment but you will recognize it as a non American name) is
not of the same standard. We have done several tests with both Alcan and
the imported alum with the same 6061-T6 stamp and in each case the
import had prevailing cracks and on thicker pieces actually broke in the
bend while the Alcan product formed just fine. I don't have any more
info on this but be aware of what your buying.
