Some sheets of 2mm Alu would be nice, guillotined down, but that looks a

only 10mmdeep or so, and some treatment would need to be applied to the
edges - GF splinters are not nice!

I use that stuff for lots of things - and never had a problem with GF
splinters. I would normally give the edges a rub over with a file, though.

Hi Dave
I picked up some from the waste bins a while back and got some horrid
skin rash/cuts which I attribute to splinters from the GF. Mind you, it was
punched out stuff. If it was easy to get in the length I was looking for I'd
probably use it, and either take the edges off and/or paint the ends...
