I'm looking for some very thin flexiable (as I can bend with my hands) "L" aluminum to trim my psone lcd mod. I modded my lcd into three bay covers (plastic) and I'm going for silver/blue theme case and this would be perfect! Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I've seen stuff like that at hobby shops for modeling. There also is L shaped stuff used in stained glass that my sister uses. You can also use a dremel or hacksaw to mitre the edges into a frame. Or jsut have a frameshop build a small picture frame for you.
Really? I wonder if hardware store carries it? Probably not, I'll see next time we're in Minot (different town) if he'll take me to a hobby shop. I have no idea where they're at, lol. The stuff I'm looking for is the metal frame around the psone lcd, if there's any confusion.
I know most hardware stores carry aluminum right angle pieces. I have no idea if there are any small enough though.
The thinnest metals I have commonly found are 1/16"-inch thick. WHat you can do is just get the flat metal you want to use, cut it into strips and take it to a metal shop with a sheet-metal brake and have them bend it 90-degrees along its length. As long as you don't need a piece longer than their brake is wide (many shop brakes are 36 inches) it is easy & quick for them to do (and make a bit of money)....
