  3. Outdoor Chess Board

    does the alum have to be 1/4" thick or can it be like .032 and mounted to something. i would have to check with my supplier and see how thick we can go but it sounds like you need a metal photo or etched alum for this to with stand the outdoors. we make military nameplates like this. if i can't...
