Alum source for reflectors?

[banditpowdercoat]

Where is a CDN place to get Spectral alum, or better for making your own reflectors? I want to make some reflectors for my tank. I have the tools, don't have the material.

I have a 2x4' sheet of Sun sheet from
Sunlight Supply I used for my reflectors. Will sell at
cost $50.

Yes, Im interested. would have to be shipped tho, can it be rolled and stuffed into a mailing tube?

[pterfloth]

I think I can roll it and put it into a box. I wouldn't want to kink it. It's pretty rigid stuff. It comes with a plastic film on it to protect the finish. If you want, I can get a quote from Canada Post.

Sure, that'd be great. I do know CP has these round "Mail Tubes", but not sure if they would have a round tube big enough?

[pterfloth]

If I can roll it into a 12" roll, a 24"x12"x12", and mail the package to the Forest Grove address on your website, the cost is $19.69 regular parcel post (3 days). If I ship it flat, a 48"x24"x0.5" package is $27.56 regular post. Once rolled, it will probably have a curl to it that may end up being a PITA.

Let me know what you think.

Hmm, well, if they will ship it flat, then flat it is.

How would you want payment? DO you do email money transfer? I will have to wait till later in the week though, I'm at work in camp right now.

[pterfloth]

Sure email transfer is the cheapest and works fine. I also remembered that I will be driving my son up to Prince George on Sept 3rd since he will be going to UNBC. Maybe I could bring it with me and we could meet on the drive up. That way you could save the mail cost.

[banditpowdercoat]

Drive it up and meet would be cool. Allways like meeting fellow reefers. But when are you coming back down from PG? We'll be coming back from Kelowna on the 3rd, so not sure if we'll be in town when your coming through. But after that, Im home untill the 15th
