Question:

Does Thermoplastic resin powder have another name?

I know it's called C9000 Thermoplastic resin powder. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding it, so I was wondering if it's known by a more common name? Maybe if I knew the significance of the C9000, I'd be able to find it. Where should I be looking if I want to buy it? I tried googling it, but I'm not getting an exact match, and I'm afraid if I use something different, disaster will strike. Does it have a more common name by any chance? If not then where should I look to find this?Thanks! :) x

Answer:

depending on the thickness you could use a nibbler they rent them at a tool rental place (not home depot though)
You did not mention the 'Brand Name'. Cheap ones are throw-aways. Name-Brand wrench replacement parts are available.
Although I don't know if it's true, but I read here on Answers that there is a vaccine available from vets for pet pigs.
To cut it, I would suggest using a jigsaw with a plywood blade (between 8 15 teeth per inch). When you cut it make sure to take safety precautions. Wear a face shield and a dust mask. (Aluminum dust is toxic to inhale.) Once you cut the aluminum to your desire size, debur the cuts with a file or a deburring tool. Make sure to do this or you'll leave a sharp edge on your cut. If you need to bend the metal, then you should be able to bend it without any machinery. (Aluminum is a fairly soft metal.) While bending, remember to secure the piece to a workbench with the bend line flush with the edge of the table, using clamps and a rigid straightedge (2x4 could work, or a pice of angle iron). Also make sure to apply even pressure across the piece. If you don't do both of these things, then you bend may be off. If you intend to hand bend aluminum over 45 degrees, then make sure to heat it or else it will crack along the bend. In order to preserve the polished finish, put masking tape along the cut and bend lines, and cut it from the opposite side so the saw marks will be on the back.
