Hello all,
Speaking of those spacers/battens stiffeners, I have been thinking I
would like to try using some knd of thin plastic. I have seen plastic
that would fill the bill before, I just have to go out and find some,
preferably black. There are a couple of industrial plastic vendors here
in San Diego, I'll check them out and if I find anything I'll let you
all know.
