Might be of interest to some; the model railway fraternity are
now using sticky-backed copper tape, 1cm wide, to distribute
power over their baseboards, especially now that single-feed
DCC needs to be applied everywhere.
Both aluminum (aluminium, GB) and copper tape such as that have
been around for decades in window security applications.
Also stained glass making. I remember people pointing out copper tape in
places like "Hints & Kinks" in QST, saying it was used for the stained
glass making so it was available at hobby shops. Though I guess hobby
shops aren't sa common as they once were, either.
