Patches to make. Aluminum Type?
Newbie here looking to patch some great "mods" by the PO. What type aluminum do i need to get to patch so when i get to the polish phase a while from now it looks good. Thanks. And, love the unique patch shapes from other owners. Will probably follow suite on the badges of use.
