Thread: Liner question

I haven't worked with aluminium, but that sounds fine to me. The thickness of brass I use for liners is 0.010" thick, and after sanding to get a clean surface for adhesion, I'm guessing it wears off 0.001" anyway.

The brass liner's I use are 0.005, and they are VERY thin! I then added a second plastic liner to them (which was not necessary). Honestly, I'm not sure how necessary the liners are. My only thought is that if the wood is not stabilized or if you are putting pieces together it acts as a great foundation.

When I had the problem of the liner separating from the wood, I was a little hesitant to reglue them since the wood was fine by itself. The only reason I did wind up gluing them is that I thought the liner's really 'jazzed' up the look of the scales........

I use 10/1000" thick brass for liners so see no problem with 9/1000" aluminum.

this may help...

Great tutorial, Bill. I am looking forward to the part where you talk about protecting the brass liners from corrosion, permanently if possible

Thanks guys. I'll give it a go with the stock I have.
