Why? Has homeland security declared it a terrorist weapon?

I don't think that he really wants tin, or if he does, he doesn't
want this purity.


I'm guessing you mean steel sheet iron, probably galvanized. I am
not here to question your choice of material, though the thought
does cross my mind. Stainless steel, aluminum sheet, brass,
copper, FRP, or paint-grip galvanized might be more appropriate.

Any one of these materials come in different gauges or decimal
designations. A fairly light weight thin sheet would be 29 gauge.
Unless you are talking about a material designated a foil which I
don't think you can buy as a sheet, any gauge material will more
than cover up any wall texture. The big issue, I think, will be
how you intend to install the sheeting. I don't have a
recommendation unless I know what material you intend to use. Be
aware that metal has a much greater shrink/grow factor due to heat
and cold and can be problematic to glue. I can't see any reason
to sand or remove the texture.
