When your project demands exact tolerances and a material that holds its shape without adding bulk, finding the right ultra-thin metal strip can be a real challenge. Hobbyists, model makers, machinists, and DIY builders who need reliable shim stock or decorative metal banding often struggle with foils that tear, corrode, or arrive in non-standard widths. This brass foil roll is engineered for those who need consistent thickness and clean edges every time.
Each roll is made from brass alloy sheet stock, offering a warm golden finish with good formability and moderate corrosion resistance. The foil measures 0.02mm (approximately 0.0008 in) thick and 1000mm (39.4 in) in length, with widths ranging from 10mm (0.39 in) to 200mm (7.87 in) across the available variants — select the exact width your application requires.
Typical applications include precision shimming between mechanical components, decorative inlay banding on woodworking projects, scale model detailing, electrical shielding strips, and craft metalwork where a thin, workable brass sheet strip is needed. Long-tail use cases include guitar fret slot shimming, watchmaking spacers, and architectural model cladding.

Select the width that matches or slightly exceeds the area you need to cover. For shimming applications, match the width to the gap or bearing surface. For decorative inlay, measure the channel or groove width first. All widths are 1000mm long, so you can trim to length as needed.
At 0.02mm, this foil is designed for light-duty shimming where very small gap adjustments are needed — such as fine-tuning bearing clearances, aligning precision instruments, or stacking multiple layers to achieve a target thickness. It is not intended for heavy load-bearing applications.
Brass resists rust (it contains no iron) and offers moderate resistance to oxidation in typical indoor environments. Over time it may develop a natural patina. For humid or outdoor environments, consider applying a clear lacquer coat to preserve the finish.
Yes. Brass is solderable with standard rosin-core solder and a suitable flux. It also bonds well with cyanoacrylate (super glue), epoxy, and contact cement. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol before bonding for best adhesion.
Yes. At 0.02mm thickness, this brass foil cuts cleanly with sharp scissors, a craft knife, or metal shears. For straight cuts, use a metal ruler as a guide. Avoid tearing — always cut with a smooth, continuous motion.
No. This is a brass alloy foil (copper-zinc), which differs from pure copper foil (higher conductivity, redder tone) and aluminum foil (lighter, softer, silver tone). Brass offers a balance of workability, corrosion resistance, and a warm golden appearance that neither copper nor aluminum provides.
Since each layer is 0.02mm thick, divide your target gap by 0.02 to find the number of layers. For example, a 0.1mm shim requires 5 layers. Layers can be stacked and held in place with a small amount of adhesive or simply compressed between components.
