Copper tape?

Need some thin copper tape (adhesive foil), about 1 or 1.5 inches wide, about 16 inches long. I'd be willing to buy a roll for this one-time use, but all I see is the 3M stuff at $30-plus.

Thanks, http://www.chomerics.com/products/chofoil.htm http://www.can-dotape.com/foil-tape.htm http://www.venturetape.com/final/Shielding.asp searched metacrawler for 'copper foil adhesive', seemed to come up with something. metacrawler includes google searches, but doesn't suck on the(frequent) occasion that google will. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |

Thanks, -- Please, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn't ask a question here if I hadn't done that already. DaveC This is an invalid return address Please reply in the news group Does your application require copper? If it only requires a conductive tape, you might consider aluminum. Aluminum tape is usually available at hardware stores for use in duct-work. |

Copper tape is used to put around plant pots to stop slugs crawling up them - they don't like copper! Rick. |

Samples from vendors seem to be a thing of the past. I picked up some self-adhesive copper in "letter" sized sheets at a stained-glass shop. You can just cut it to whatever shape you need.

Thanks, - Please, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn't ask a question here if I hadn't done that already. And again your cross-posted question proves you aren't using google much. You'd be better to practice using it rather than doing your corss-posting (which as I said before is a sign of not using google to find the best place to ask). A number of times, I just checked, I've mentioned that copper tape can be had where stained glass supplies are sold. So the information is "google-able". At least have the decency take out that silly signature, which is clearly not a statement of fact. Michael |

Well, notwithstanding crossposting has nothing to do with whether or not a google search has been done, crossposting is preferable to multi-posting for a number of reasons: http://www.dickalba.demon.co.uk/usen.../faq_cros.html Cheers!

DaveC Hey DaveC, are you sure you haven't Googled, you wouldn't be telling a little lie would you ;-) I just did this - "copper tape" supplies - into Google and clicked on the first site and up came http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electron...pper_Tape.html there are plenty of others, 12,400 in fact, so I suggest you rid yourself of that pointless signature - and when you start using Google don't forget about the Groups section, where there are 78 hits for the same entry. Remember, whatever the problem you may have, you can bet your life that someone else has already had it and has already posted. see www.google.com Oh, I feel better now ..... Cheers. |

Almost any garden shop sells this tape in 1 1/2 inch width for slug barrier.
