[HBR] sheet metal differences...

[William Wood]

Greetings and Salutations HBR People
    Jut found out our local sheet metal shop is closing it's doors  
this next week.  I bought two sheets of 16 gage one for the chassis  
and one for the front panel.  They did not have the aluminum that I  
wanted, so I settled for Galvanized.  I am having second thoughts  
about this, as far as the metal differences will go later in the  
project, galvanized against aluminum, with stainless steel and the  
bottom line I guess is my question about the metal differences.  16  
gage seems to be pretty heavy, and I don't think we'll have too much  
wiggle wobble, but wanted opinions about the type and thickness.  I  
literally have a lot more metal laying around here then I need, but  
the gage is wrong.  From lots of old microwave and VCR cabinets.  I  
wanted something heavier then that cabinetry
    Bottom line guys and gals is am I going to have any electrolysis  
or diode effects with the dissimilar metals???  Can I use a cure all  
like a paste of sorts???
Thanks in advance
Bill
