I want to thank you Nick. The prior discussions around here put the copper/nickel on my radar for the first time. You have been one of the advocates every time. I don't know when that stuff hit the market, but it wasn't around a couple decades ago when I made lines constantly. Heck in FL I would get jobs just because nobody else in the shop was willing or capable. By my research, I can find no negative information... and the positives are all mentioned here. Again thanks.
