hey I called around today and a company out in keeting crosroad areacan get a mirror finnish aluminum that is 0.025" thick. comes with a coating to protect it while you bend it. they are charging 3.00 per square foot. I am thinking of ordering a 4X4 chunk but as it comes in a 4X10 sheet there will be some left over.. it takes a week to get in soi anyone is interested let me know. oh they call it "everbright"

Hey Steve, I am interested, I have a sheet metal brake at work too if you want your reflector bent up into an M shape or whatever. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

You guys could make some money. J&L sells PFO reflectors for $40. That leaves you guys quite a wide margin when you think of a $6 cost.

Do I get a share for the idea?

That was my next question Bruce but I was going to call ya hehe. I am not sure how I want to bend it yet though I think I might just make a tray type thing with 45 degree sides leading in to a vertical side

something like that. I have 5 bulbs to go in it and that will give me about 5.5" on center. unless you could thing of a betterway for a 5 tube reflector?

Hey Steve, I'm interested in some too!

I'd like a 60"x24" sheet. If you could get it before the upcoming Reef Club meeting, I'd give you a little extra to pick it up for me and bring it over. [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Let me know.

I don't think steve is coming andrew, but perhaps I could drop it off to you.

I'd like a 2 foot piece if that's possible steve.. thanks!

I could use a reflector for my 250 MH!! How much for you to make me one? (If it's not too much trouble).

shiny Aluminum
 

hmm ok, Bruce how big of piece you want?
and Adam 2 feet X ?

if I get a 3X4 and andrew gets a 5X2 , Brad gets a 2X3, Rob wants a 2X4, Bruce 1X2, leaves 1 more 1X2 on this sheet.

I don't have to buy a whole sheet (and I can alwasy oder more than one sheet and only buy part of one) I just thought if others wanted some I could order it al at the same time. let me know and I can call them tomorrow morning and order it.. takes about 1 week he said to get in.
