    Hello all
    I was thinking of building an aluminium dinghy, the designer recomended
    5052 H34 2.5mm sheet but i have had no luck finding any (iam in the uk)
    One company i talked to said they have 5086
    Does anyone know what the difference between the 2 types are ,and in particular what i should use, and what does the H34 mean?
    Regards
