If it can be left bare and brushed or polished up like a Kirkham, I may get the point; but if not, I really fail to see the justification for the added complication. What advantages does it offer over a real alloy body (much cheaper?) and why would it be more desirable than plain fiberglass unless there's a visible, tangible difference?

ALUCOAT-CS is lacquered foil for the production of semi-rigid containers for food packaging.

- you may need to click on the 'English' button, as it defaults in French on my computer.
- bit like baking foil it seems to me! perhaps thats unkind.
