	Copper tape has the added advantage that it is solderable and, it least
in the standard version 3-M makes, has conductive adhesive (probably
makes no difference in TC work.)  Watch the swap meets!  A couple of
years ago I bought two unopened rolls of 2" wide 3-M tape for $5.00
each.  Not much more expensive than aluminum tape at the hardware
store.  If you look up the catalog prices you'll understand Brian's last
remark.
