For a new project, I bought some tungsten foil that is .002" thick.
It is expensive.
When I opened it and held it up, I thought this is so stiff and heavy
it sure seems much thicker but we measured it and it is .002". *Of
course Tungsten has a density of about 19 so I knew it would be heavy
but the stiffness exceeds what I expected. *Of course, it is also a
hard material.
Where in boating do we need very thin, very hard and very dense metal?


Have it crocheted into anchor chain.

Go drill some holes in the structural components of your boat trailer
like they taught you in those mechanical engineering classes you
allegedly took, moron. Are you going to drill holes in the compression
flange or the tension flange? Oh, and when the trailer is loaded,
which IS the compression and tensions flanges?
