Copper sheet supplier

[Paul Russell]

I need to find some copper sheeting roughly .048" (18ga) thick. I will cut it up into 1" square blanks to make some of my Egyptian pens. I have been using pennies but don't want Uncle Sam to get upset and it is a pain to sand them down flat.

Anyone know of a supplier?

Check with Roofers and gutter installers.
they use copper flashing.
They can tell you where best to look.

There is a guy on Ebay that sells copper sheet in lots of thicknesses. I got a 10'x 3' sheet of 18 gauge for $30, but shipping was like another $30 if I remember correctly. Here is one I found on a quick search http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-COPPER-SHEE...ryZ58258QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I imagine MSC and McMaster-Carr will both have it too.

Lookup metals recycling in the phone book. If you can find what you want it will be cheap.

Local hobby stores may have what you need....

I think that I have seen it in Home Depot and some Hobby shops.

I needed some copper sheeting last winter for a project and bought it on ebay from this vendor. As advertised and good service.
