Hi Leon.

I appreciate the reply but I am really wanting to know about the Aluminium I found. Think it might be a stronger, more durable material and I can actually get hold of it in the UK.

I tried milling out a stencil from Mylar but the cuts seem a little rough. Might not be a problem for pasting but was not that happy with it. I can not find a source to buy Kapton from in the UK. I had some 2mil sheet but that is just too thin I think. I milled a stencil out and the Kapton did seem to give a nice cut.

I suppose I am just wondering if 8mil thick Aluminium will end up delivering too much paste to the pads.
