	I've had good luck with aluminum tape, burnished with a spoon.  You can
provide internal electrical connection if you wish,through contact
springs or the like.  Soldered to the bottom piece, etc.  Can't find ANY
around here that don't have rolled rims, which really can't be flattened
by any method I've tried.
