Aluminum flashing for gas checks

[sirgknight]

Last week I called my local Ace hardware store and ordered a roll of SKU-58102. This is the ACE product number for Amerimax 68104 (.014) aluminum flashing, and it listed for $14.99. When I went to pick it up today I got two surprises. First, the packaging read "SUPERFLASH, 6542s, ALUM VALLEY, 4" X 50' ", and the second surprise was the price: $8.00, including tax. I'm not certain if this is identical to Amerimax, but the thickness is .014. I'm awaiting delivery of my Pat Marlin gas check die to see if this material will be satisfactory. I'm really wondering what kind of aluminum I've got here....have any of you, by chance, used this aluminum?

No I haven't used it. Hopefully it will cut smoothly and form into nice g/c's for you.

Keep us posted on how it works.

Check to see if it is soft or tempered.

I ordered my Amerimax (.014) aluminum flashing through ACE it was $14.99 works decent on my FreeChex III I made from Ed Smith's plans.
