Lower hull

ROBERT AMEND <Gettysb...@aol.com>: Feb 03 04:39PM -0500 Hello all, Looking at the possibility of using 3/32“ aluminum to construct a lower hull. How would you go about fabricating? Bend the aluminum? Rivet? Thanks, Bob   Sent from my iPhone

But I have done quite a of riveting aluminum on my boat.                Sent from the all new AOL app for Android On Fri, Feb 3, 2023 at 4:39 PM, 'ROBERT AMEND' via R/C Tank Combat<rctank...@googlegroups.com> wrote: Hello all, Looking at the possibility of using 3/32“ aluminum to construct a lower hull.  How would you go about fabricating?  Bend the aluminum?  Rivet?

Derek Engelhaupt <tan...@gmail.com>: Feb 04 12:42AM -0600 They do make brazing rods for aluminum. I've personally never used them though so I don't know how hard they would be to use.   Derek   On Fri, Feb 3, 2023 at 4:33 PM 'wsmo...@aim.com' via R/C Tank Combat <

3/32 -1/8” aluminum will bend with a little warmth  rivets will work , If you can weld , mig will work 

Do some research on aluminum 6061 , 7072 there are a few type of aluminum that will suck to weld . You can also drill and tap solid rod aluminum and countersink your hull sheets and have something to connect the other hull sheets

The stuff I tried a while back was called alumiweld.  I (lacking real-world fabrication experience) had mixed results from watching YouTube videos, so I would think that someone who knew the ins and outs of brazing would have done much better.  It was inconvenient enough for me move on from it, but YMMV.
