get aluminum foil, 0.5 centimeters thickness?

Sorry, I will leave you do convert to metric

I think that you will find this kind of material at any decent model
shop.

Rapid Electronics,www.rapidonline.com, has aluminium sheet 0.5m x
0.5m x 0.8mm & 1.2mm, also 0.1mm brass sheet x A4 or A3.

Rough and ready. One inch is 'about' 25mm?
So 0.5 mm = 1/50th of inch?
Which = 0.02 inches?
That correct?
So 0.016" would be close????????????
