Gas Check Material? Where?

[Markopolo]

well, its been a while sense I bought Gas Check Material, and I prefer copper.. i am not a big fan of pop cans, and whatever I buy must be bought online as there are no places to buy here...

can somebody post a link to appropriate copper coils or something that can be bought online they have good experience with???

thanks,

Marko

Mr. Mark, what size copper you looking for? Ive never made or used gas checks but you mentioned pop cans which is usually .004-.005 thickness. I have aluminum, copper, and brass sheeting in that size for making percussion caps. I can get you the copper. Got both .005 and .003 and the .005 copper is what makes me the best percussion single layer percussion caps. Also the "aluminum" roof flashing comes in a little.thicker and i heard can be used. Its usually .007 thick but for some reason is way stiffer than pure .007 aluminum. Its pretty dang stiff stuff. Lemme know of this stuff can be used and you know ill help ya.
