shiny Aluminum

[StirCrazy]

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).

[StirCrazy]

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.
