Brad says you have the equipment to bend, correct ?

Thanks

ya it is bruce with the brake but last time I did do the bending for my stuff.
Are your bulbs mounted close togeather, or are they evernly spaced? I use a single bulb reflector that works realy good but it would take up a little more room then say one that holds 2 bulbs.

ok, I got some answers today the sheets come in a 4'X10' so there is 4X4 left. the cost will work out to $7.50/sq^ft including tax.

Steve can you tell me a bit about spectal aluminum? I have created light hood number 1 and I can see the need for light hood number 2.

well it is aluminum (about 0.020" thick, which is then coated with a harder, and no reactive material like nickel. the reason for this is aluminum being soft will start to tarnish as soon as you are done polishing it. whare as the nickel (being harder non reactive and much smaller grain size) can be highly polished to a brilian finnish and will not tarnish. the reflectivity of spectral aluminum is actualy a little higher than a mirror.

this is the same material spider lights and other reflectors are made out of.

It might be cheeper for you to sorce it out in Calgary.. it is fairly thin and it is awkward to ship due to the ease of which it can be dammaged.. I don't think it would be cost effective the way I would have to crate it to make sure it stays ok..

but due to the lack of intrest localy.. I am not sure if I am going to be getting it soon.. I think I will have to wait till I can get more intrest in it as I can't aford to eat 1/2 a sheet like I did last time.. (you know christmas and all) maby after the "broke season" people would be more into it..

anyways, if people who are local still want to be on a waiting list e-mail me and let me know.. when I can get a sheet reserved I will e-mail you all and arange everything..

Hi Steve,

Is there any left? I would like one 11"x17" sheet (so they can fit in an oversized envelope).

Please let me know.

Thanks

Clint
