Toni, I bought rolls of copper shim from craft type suppliers, when I go back to work I'll look in my order book and give you a name.
Skew - I didn't seem to have any black come off the metal, maybe the slide on floppy discs isn't aluminium (wot would I know )

the brown stuff on floppies is some sort of ferric oxide deposition isn't it? That's why they are magnetic media rather than light which are cd's.

I'm pretty sure J means the metal slides that protect the read window, not the media itself, Tas. You're right about the ferric oxide, it's just layered onto a mylar disc. I think it'd be too thin to be any real use in lamination, you may as well use Glad-Wrap. Originally Posted by tashammer

the metal shutter on floppy disks is almost certainly always aluminium.
brass is a great thing to use too.

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
