Re: Floor Repair
No problem using it. The hangup is that aluminum weighs 5 dollars per pound, and then it can't generally be cut by the guy at home. You have to use a plasma cutter, shear, or snips. You could get the snips, but it would be a bear to use just that. <br />Any welding shop will cut the deck, though, so if you have access to a good one, you'll have to worry mostly about the price of the metal. <br />Something that you're more likely to see, and is probably more stylish, is aluminum diamond, or tread, plate. Same price, and already set up as a "non-skid" surface. I've seen it in a few boats, and if I can find some at a fair price, may eventually put it in my aluminum boat. There are recycling centers for metal, and their prices are usually great, but they won't generally have your 4x8 sheets of anything, and then you may end up with a patchwork deck.
