Brady,
Thanks, and you'll recall that I did boldy promote the use of 'disclaimers' throughout
my piece on Home Depot.
Yes, I am always watchful as to mill markings vs. after-mill stickers. Again, the 'disclaimer'!!
Point of my tome was that those needing aluminum angle for all those little fun things one
does when 90% done and 90% left to do may benefit from strolling through their local box store
to see what is available. It is entirely possible to hit a home run.
As to the non-aircraft grade stuff.....regardless of what it is called, there is some angle sold at some of these places that has a 'grainy' structure somewhat akin to mortar sand. You'll see this really quick when attempting to drill a small hole. Stuff flakes out like drilling into granite.
It is also brittle, and breaks rather than bends. Probably made from the dross raked off the melting pot where they make real angle.
Regards to all,
It's FRIDAY!!!! (at least here, anyway. My offspring says it is almost Saturday in Baghdad)
