Lead Foil Source

[TomN]

Hi Guys
Anyone know of a source for lead foil/sheet about 0.012"-0.015" thk?
I have some 0.020" thk, was supposed to be 1/64", but seems a little fat.
I need it for a 1/16 MG42 sling, and the 0.020" looks too heavy.

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,

Try a fly fishing shop.
Fly tiers use pre cut lead strips which come in lengths wrapped around a card.
A shop I have used in the past Troutcatchers
they advertise sheet thickness 0.15 to 0.20mm which equates to 0.05" to 0.07" (I think).
Strips have varying thickness.
