Old Koreelah Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Impressive what we can do when we have to. I also watched the US Aircraft Identification film. Appallingly inaccurate! American pilots were sent in to battle woefully ill informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVOCET Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 What's that `metal' they used to prevent distortion when bending pipes? Haven't come across that before.rgmwa It's called quick metal , used to bend soft metal pipes , Don't know a lot about it , or what it's made from , Tried to google it , 0 metal , zero metal, There's one site that goes to doc . For bending brass tube . Maybee some one can look a bit further into it , would be good for bending Alum. Pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mixture of bismuth, lead, tin and cadmium from memory.regards Marcus I thought it might be a bit toxic , otherwise it would still be readily available and used , Any chemists out there could make a non toxic version ?
