Wow, Carlos, what an idea!! Even if it does not work it sounds like a
really fun thing to try! I have a press that uses a 20ton jack as power
unit. Do you think that would be powerful enough?

Also, could you suggest a source for the urethane?

This sounds like fun and since the material will either be very thin
stainless, aluminum or copper this might be the way to go!!

Thanks a lot.
