[QUOTE="eshaw, post: 465200, member: 22134"] I wouldn't go any thinner than .100 and would use ,125 myself. 18 inches is a good span and you'll want the extra thickness. It's going to depend on how much weight you have to support also. I don't think you need to anneal it. I wouldn't go beyond the 90^ bend though or it will crack out. If you use it for the floor I'd support the back side of it with some pink foam like you can get at the big box stores. [/QUOTE]
