Yes, and so are you and I.




Do they get brittle with age?

I recently used a couple that I brought home from work in the 60's and
they are perfect. No idea why the metal would change unless it reached
a couple hundred degrees.

Should I be using steel pop rivets instead? What are the advantage of
them?


Use steel in steel, aluminum in most everything else.
