Aluminium

For cutting thinner sheets, a blade or a scissors will suffice; for thicknesses over 0.5 mm, a saw or tin snips will do the job. Aluminium sheet can be successfully glued with two component glue like, for example, those based on cyanoacrylate; in model making, Uhu hard can also be used.

Thin walled tubes with small diameters can be well used in architectural model making; larger diameters are great for decorating and interior furnishings. Pre-cut tubes can also serve as distance pieces for mounting signs (q.v. sign mounts).

Cutting work on the tubes can be done with a circular saw or manually with a household saw or a metal frame saw; they cannot be soldered but gluing work can be done with two component glues (e.g. ones based on CYANOACRYLATE or EPOXY) and for model making ruderer plastic glue or Uhu hard will also suffice. When bent, the tubes will not buckle if you take the precaution of tightly filling them with sand and closing off the ends beforehand.
