source for 3003 0.063 inch in MN
I've been using 5052 for motorcycle tanks and fenders but have struggle with planishing the welds without cracking. I TIG weld with 5356 filler.
I see the guys that use 3003 often use 1100 filler which I assume planishes down much easier. Where do you get your 3003 in MN, Twin Cities area? The one local quote I got for a piece 3003 0.063 H14 48x72 inches was over $600. After always using 5052 drops for a fraction of that price I can't bring myself to pay that much but I would like to try some 3003 if I can get a better price than that.

600 bucks is absurd. Look elsewhere.

Market price is around what Bob quoted in his post. I just got a sheet of 3003 .063 for $338 through BMG Metals in Virginia.

Erickson Metals is one answer to the question. I got the lead from jhery.
Thanks! They had just what I needed at a good price.

Can you anneal tig welded aluminum to relieve cracking
Wondering if you can anneal a tig welded seam (after welding) it to minimise chances of it cracking during planishing?
