Good tip - thanks. About 5 ½ " x 3 11/32 " hmmm - those are almost the perfect size for a project I've been thinking about; I can modify a couple of things in the project and they would be fine. Kind of spendy coffee, though... about $11 a can?

What are the cans made of? The web pics suggest a spun aluminium can, but I can't tell for certain. Likewise, gauge - maybe twice the thickness of a pop can? I assume that there is a thin rubber-like gasket ring glued to the inside of the lid - do tell, is there?

I'll check the local joints this week, but if you can shed some more light on the cans I'd appreciate it. Thanks again!
