LLoyd Structural PVC? I think that unless there is some pressing need for PVC, you might want to search for fiberglass. PVC tends to be brittle and will crack easily, fiber glass is a whole lot tougher. Think about those fiberglass ladders and then think about climbing a PVC ladder. -- Roger Shoaf If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent. |

(take that in context to your sig) Think -- Did I ask for "PVC tubing as strong as steel structural tubing"? No? No. I asked for PVC structural tubing. Such exists. The term _assumes_ you won't put steel loads on PVC of the same cross-section. You need to change the pH of the liquid. You're not part of the solution anymore. LLoyd |
