[TheForge] recycling aluminum tubing to make cannoli tube/form

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

i have a need to make one dozen cannoli tubes/forms.
cannolia tubes/forms normally made out of aluminum
tubing which has been cut to various lenghts. the
common size for the aluminum tubing is 3/4 inches
in diameter and 5 inches in length. the dough used
to make the cannoli is wrapped around the cannoli
tube/form and deep fat fried. however, before the
use of aluminum wood dowels were used to form and
fry the cannoli.

i have several hardwood dowels of the correct diameter
and i have aluminum flashing which i could use to make
a cannoli tube/form. i also have a broken aluminum lawn
chair which is made from the correct size aluminum tubing.

i am not at all sure what aluminum alloy the lawn chair
aluminum tubing may or may not be. i doubt that using
the lawn chair aluminum tubing for the cannoli tube/form
would be a problem, but i am just not 100 percent sure.

could the lawn chair aluminum tubing react in some unknown
manner with the hot olive/peanut/canola/corn/soybean oil?
