Aluminum in cld plinth


I am about to embark on my journey into the diy of plinth building. I have been through the other mega thread but thought I would ask for some input separately.

My question ... Does the use of aluminum in the layers help, how many layers(of al), and what thickness? I have a bunch of 1/8" 5052 at my disposal.

thanks

I personally would use 6061 or 7075. I would use 1" thick and CNC it. I have access to the machines so it is a bit easier for me. With that said, if you are looking to do this yourself you can.
I would not think that the aluminum sandwich would be of any benefit. It don't think that it would hurt. It might add a little weight so that could be the only benefit I think. Try it!!! That's part of the game....
