So how many of these very small pieces are you distributing before you
don't have enough left for your project? ;~)


I only offered one - but if anyone else wants a business card size
sample they're invited to snail-mail a SASE with a (US) dollar bill
tucked inside.

I have almost twice as much of the foil as I need to produce the solar
panels now in the production queue, so I don't /think/ I'm creating a
problem for myself...


And you can recoup your cost by just selling just 9 linear feet of the foil
at 2"x4" for USD1 :-)


I hadn't done any arithmetic - I just figured that the hassle factor of
sending off a SASE plus "not free" would hold the amount of cutting to a
minimum.

I suspect I might use up more than one pair of scissors if I needed to
cut 9' of this stuff into small pieces...

....and it'll probably horrify the metalheads to hear that I plan to
bandsaw the roll into thirds as the first step. :-
