Thank you for the reply. I talked to St Aubins about the AMS 250 brass and am seriously leaning that way. I suppose if I had my druthers, I'd use Aristo 250 stainless, but that might not be available for another year, the way these things go. I like the way brass ages to a brown anyway more thant the ss. <br /> <br />On the expansion / contraction issue.. HDPE supposedly reacts to temperature changes similar to the plastic tie material commonly used, so maybe I won't have that much of a problem? <br /> <br />BTW, I found a supplier for HDPE http://epsplasticlumber.com/index.shtml 2x4 stock is about $16 for 8'.. I rec'd some complimentary color samples from them the other day as well as a 9" section of 2X4 material. I tried ripping it on my Unisaw and was covered in the wispy shavings it made... I looked like a yeti.. geezus, what a mess that stuff makes! The dry air /static were contributing factors of course. I'm going to have to extend my dust collection plumping to the saw before I do 600' linear feet of this stuff, that's for sure!!! <br />
