What I have to do is shape and put together some things which will hold stuff together over doors, etc (I have magnets which I need to match up fitting on doors that are uneven). What things? What stuff? Is the installation short-term or permanent? You'll get better answers if you provide more information. R |

Styrofoam..........that's as good an answer as your question. Hank |

The things they have at places can be cut and shaped by into things by things that will hold stuff. [I mean like wtf do you expect for a reply?] |

I think a perfect solution would be to get the type of material they have for doing this kind of stuff with. You can easily cut it with tin snips and it is also inexpensive, plus it comes in a variety of thicknesses and sizes. If you aren't sure if it will work, just call them up and they will gladly send you a sample. Jon |

Jon- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - And of course we need to know what colors you need and if it can be painted, stained, electroplated, anodized, weatherproofed, electricallly conducting, , etc. I hope the OP guy/gap is just trolling, otherwise he/she should be up for a Darwin award. |
