OK guys.. for giggles... RE your aluminum angles from 'Lowes or Home Depot airplane departments'.
What is the fillet radius between the angle flanges?
What was the alloy 'as-mill-marked' on the aluminum?
Where were they made [extruded]?
NOTE. A year-or-two ago I needed a mild detergent for cleaning rubber parts. Called the 800 number on the Dawn dish-soap bottle to ask simple questions.
As soon as I mentioned what I wanted to clean old/dirty nitrile rubber parts... the first question asked by the help desk guy was "for what application"?
"For cleaning rubber clamp blocks in aircraft hydraulic tube routings".
"OK, STOP there... I can't discuss our product use in any aircraft application".
What do you think Lowe's and Home Depot's reaction would be if You inquired about their 'airplane [parts/materials] department(s)'? It would be educational to hear what they have to say...
