    Question Foil for weighting

    Does anyone know of a domestic source of a lead, or substitute, ribbon foil such as used by Davie McPhail in his videos? One such video is:

    Elsewhere he actually builds-up a tapered underbody by using several layers of material.
    I tried flattening some fine solder and it works, but it is inconsistent and messy.
