Aluminum is a poor choice. When exposed to air it forms a
non-conductive layer of aluminum oxide. Tin or Gold-plated
or even Copper foil would work far better.

Sounds good. So where can these adhesive backed foils be easily
purchased at a reasonable price?

Hmm ... check your local electronics hobby store for the kind of
tape used to build up "printed circuit" boards, instead of the more
common etching away of the unwanted copper from a fully copper clad
board.
