Another Scuttle Question
Chris_R - 3/1/05 at 09:35 PM

I've got a job lot of steel sheet that's 1/32" thick (0.79mm or somewhere between 20 and 21 SWG). I don't have the book to hand so don't know what's suggested, but will it be any good to use as the skin of my scuttle. I started work on it yesterday, which is going well, and would like to be able to finish it without buying more materials.

Any help appreciated.


Chris.

That will be more than adequate, If you are skinning a framed scuttle, try bonding the plate rether than welding it to prevent distortion

Cheers Mark. What would you suggest as an adhesive?

sounds like a job for the old PU adhesive!!!
