    Way Cool !!

    If you have enough, that stuff, along with some silver solder is the perfect material to make a still.

    Use the tailings for gas checks.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    45workhorse was JOKING. That stuff is like gold! There are lots of guys here that would LOVE to have it. I don't even make gas checks and I would like some myself. It comes in handy for lots and lots of stuff.
    Don't throw it away!
    If no one else wants it PM me. I will be happy to take it.

    Cut it up in sheets sized to fit a sfrb and offer it in a PIF, but just don't throw it away.

    Yes, I was joking! Sorry.

    .011" would work well for 30 caliber checks.
