SA Free Aero/louvre profile aluminium
I have around 4.5-5m in a couple of 2m lengths and a shorter piece of louvre/aero profile aluminium to find a new home for.
67mm wide
15mm high
Outside radius is 268mm from memory
End return radius is 3.5mm
Left overs from a failed experiment.
Pick up only, no postage, no interest in a week or so it’s going in the next scrap run.

Can't think what I'd use it for (a weird looking coffee table?) but that sort of length is enough to be useful for something. I'll take it if no one else has a definite use for it.

A man of your talents could build a decent sized electric punkahwallah.

I bought it to make roof bars with, but over the length required to span the roof of my car it turned into spaghetti.
It did look the business though.
Its actually a commercial louvre profile from Capral

How would filling it with two part urethane foam go?
The two liquid mix not squirt can and then seal the ends as it expands.

The section isn’t really deep enough to hold any significant load across its minor axis as is for the application I had intended to use it for. Truth be told, I was mostly certain of that fact when I bought it, but decided to have a go anyway, without failure there can be no success, or something of that ilk...
Would be an interesting experiment to see if two pack would add the required strength across that axis

I reckon Michael could easily whip up a decent punkah out of that section. But I doubt even a man of his talents could produce a punkah wallah from it.

Punkah - Wikipedia
You have me beaten on both a technicality and my inability to connect the dots.. I had always thought the operator was a coolie, with the wallah being the movement mechanism, hence my somewhat misapplied use of the term electric punkah wallah. Kind of makes sense really, last time I worked in India, we hired a chai wallah as part of our work crew.
