Dog food can will work just as well {:>) By the way, I happened to notice while drooling over a machine tool catalog that they make a stainless steel foil about the same thickness as common aluminum foil. They apparently wrap metal in it when heat treating it to keep carbon scale from forming, so it must be pretty crunchable to be able to do that. Trouble is its a bit expensive and they only sell it in 50 ft rolls. Anybody have any experience with this stuff in their lives as a machinist?
