I need to find a substitute for aluminium plate which doesn't conduct

Something like a few layers of the glass fibre used for decent PCBs would
be good - or sheet of that about 5mm thick.

Size needed about 3x2" so small. Load less than a kilo, but supported at
one end only, so a fair twisting moment on it.

Anything I could pop along to a shed and buy?

At 5mm thickness and that sort of size cadging an offcut of Perspex from
your local shop sign makers would be one possibility.

paxolin is available in 4mm thickness
