Default Where can I get aluminium foil (0.5 cm thickness) for HomebrewButterfly Capacitor

Here in the USA, 0.020" aluminum is a standard thickness.

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????????????

He did say .5 cm. So did the web page he was citing. It's pretty
clear from looking at the picture of the capacitor that .5 cm is out
of the question, and must be a typo on the original web page, while
0.5 mm is quite reasonable for a capacitor of that construction and
size.

The post has been out there a while and we all assume it's a typo (I've
never seen the original poster reply about that) but 1/2 a centimeter
would make HUGE plates...1/2 a mm sounds MUCH more realistic...
