[SEDXC] STAINLESS STEEL

[Mike Greenway]

R R Tom , I have used McMaster but they won't let me as an individual pick 
it up in person.  They say they can ship it but not pick up.  They do allow 
real companies to pick up.   They do have a great stock of stuff though. 
Love looking at their catalog. 73

Careful there, Mike.

The last time someone mentioned stainless steel hardware someone on a local
reflector said it caused corrosion or something, and galvanized or zinc was
better.
:-)

I buy my stainless hardware from McMaster-Carr, and like you everything I
use (even against aluminum) is a stainless alloy.
