Reply:Thanks for the information, guys.  I've got some 7024 on order for a moderately dirty job and I wanted to be sure I can just jump right in and do it.  It's a job for which pretty is more important than tensile strength  --  some light duty stands, on which noone is going to be doing any x-raying looking for flaws.                          -Marty-
