I recently scored a major amount of aluminum square tube and thought I would post where from, for people who may or may not have thought of it . Stop by any local to you ALUMINUM/CANVAS AWNING COMPANY and ask if they have any scraps to sell. I stopped by one here and got 50 - 60 linear foot of 1" square tube for FREE.

Check this site out. Interesting and very informative. Site might seem difficult to navigate at first mainly due to all the information they supply. However, once you figure it out the prices for Epoxy resins, primers etc. can't be touched... definitely worth a LOOK.

Alternative to Bullfrog rivet kit...from Harbor freight. I bought the rivet gun and 100's of rivets for under $30 (incl. shipping) vs. BF at $149 + shipping. The quality of the products seems excellent. I've spoken with another tin boater who (also) has this gun and he has the same opinion.

Make sure that you check prices for shipping. I ordered a 3 ft alum. hinge for $5. shipping was $13.76 it was ground UPS and they won't tell you the shipping price until they ship.

PAINT STRIPPER for TIN BOATS
Used Dad's Easy Spray® Stain and Varnish Remover from Ace Hardware to remove old paint. The gel is thin and very easy to paint, worked very quick and the old paint litterally scrapped right off. MUCH better thank the Klean Strip KS33 premium. I dont know if it was just the type of paint etc, but this Dads stuff worked much much better and it went from a 8 hr job to a 2 hr job.
Its like $14 a bottle !
