[QUOTE="Brine, post: 124321, member: 1053"] :LOL2: Welcome to the world of Aluminum... Check the thickness of that 12 x 12. I wouldn't think it would be that much less. If it is correct, it must have something to do with fall-off. I have given up trying to find recyling/scrap yards in or near Gwinnett that will sell to the public, so my last option has been...bite the bullet and pay for new, or a product called ACM which Ryerson has that's like an Aluminum/Ply. It can't be welded, but it should have the same life expectancy as aluminum. If it's above the waterline, I'd have no issues of just using wood on either side and sandwiching aluminum epoxy or 5200 over the hole. [/QUOTE]
