Re: Rolled PE Caps
i looked at mcmaster-carr for some foil rolls, but am not sure what
thinkness i am looking for, my only problem with Al Flashing is that it is
too darn thick, isn't there some happy medium between falshing and foil that
would be robust enough yet easily rollable? i don't know how to compare
thicknesses of foils either cause i don't have a baseline.
thanks
