It is 0.0084 gauge and I bought a 10" by 10' roll (about $9) and a 14" by 10' roll (about $13). It will cut with heavy scissors or I used a knife to score it and bent it til it would break clean on the score line (I can't cut a straight line.) It shaped easily and firmed up with a little shaping and I am quite happy with it as a lightweight cover on the rear belly of my Piet. At that price, I used it first for the template and then practiced once and then made a good one. I still have 6' of each left. It is not structural and would dent if someone leaned on it. But since I put it on the belly, if someone is leaning on it, I have bigger problems. -- Blue Skies, Steve D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
