So, what's the best way to cut it?


Depending on thickness, a pair of scissors works well for me. There is
also 'plastic'
shim stock that works pretty well and the thicker sizes are easy to cut
with scissors to
boot.

You cut *stainless* shim stock with scissors? I've cut brass that way, but
I've never tried stainless.

How thick?
