I've not looked into a source of this tape but it would seem to be an
easily technique, if a suitable tape can be
obtained.


Definitely! If you can find out what is is, where to get it to try it, and
the temperature and duration needed for the ovenm, please post what you find.
Point taken about aluminium, but I used to collect scrap metal in a city at
one time, and noticed that anything that got thrown out was usually a tad
less than exotic. Mostly very ductile. When I want anythign better I
invariably have to pay for it, and then I know what I'm getting. eBay's not
bad for loose bits.


I'd not even looked for it until just now. But a quite 'google' produced
this:

It refers to 'film', which I assume is the tape I was thinking of.

As for sources, that may be an issue. Many of these specialist
chemically type things are so-and-so's to get hold of if you are not
in the industry. I still have some contacts who can sometimes point me
at suppliers willing to help.

I tend to buy boxes, a lot of my projects are more for the technology
than 'looks' so diecast boxes are de-riquer in most cases, especially
for RF projects where you can have several modules in isolated boxes etc.
