If you can't find what you need let me know the size. I should be able to cut what you need. Thanks Clay |

Is it for looks or to actually hold a load? What are the dimensions your looking for?

If its for looks like most,pick up a roll of aluminum muffler tape,works great and you would never know unless you really picked at it.Its cheap,easy to find and you will have lots for future projects....  |

I used some metal tape I had laying around...I think its for HVAC applications?...might be muffler tape  It looks alright...I doubled it over a couple times to make it look thicker. Next time I think I will cut down a soda can and see how that works. |

| Bio-Hazard scale Wraith rear deck This is what its for, Im just after making it look a good as I can. I found some brass strips at the place Stang recommended. I am going to try the metal tape to see how it works but im sure ill be using the brass. Also the prototype for this will be done today or tomorrow. |

If it's just for looks you could try some .007 foil from the craft store. I used it for the power tank on my Wraith  |
