Derek B Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Indeed Hercules, Fantastic scratch build, which I shall follow with much interest. I have a few questions for you: What metal do you use? What type of aluminium and thicknes? Do you also have to anneal it to soften it before you form double curveatures? And finally, what do you use to adhere it to the plastic substrate? Many thanks Derek Edited October 30, 2012 by Derek B HerculesPA_2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerculesPA_2 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 So Thanks dears!! So thanks!!! Well, lets reply your questions (excuse me my enlglish is not good). What metal do you use? I Use aluminium tha sold here in São Paulo in plates 2m x 1meters. What type of aluminium and thicknes? The aluminium in plate is 2 thicknes in 3 milimiters and 2 milimiters. Do you also have to anneal it to soften it before you form double curveatures? To curve the aluminium I use tubes in diferentes diameters And finally, what do you use to adhere it to the plastic substrate? For glue I use Cianocrilate or comercial name "Super Bonder" that is excelent for adhering. Well lets for more photos Thats all Thanks Hercules de Araujo from Brasil Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
