The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When a project demands exact tolerances and a material that won't let you down, finding the right thin metal strip can be a real challenge. Whether you're a model maker, machinist, jeweler, or hands-on DIYer, this 0.05mm brass foil roll gives you the ultra-thin, consistent sheet stock you need — cut to a precise 1000mm length with widths ranging from 10mm to 300mm (roughly 0.39" to 11.81").
Each roll is made from brass — a copper-zinc alloy known for its corrosion resistance, workability, and attractive golden finish. At just 0.05mm (approximately 0.002") thick, the foil is flexible enough to bend and form by hand yet rigid enough to hold its shape as a shim or liner. Width options span 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 60mm, 80mm, 100mm, 120mm, 150mm, 180mm, 200mm, and 300mm — all at a fixed 1000mm (39.37") length.
Typical applications include precision shimming between mechanical components, decorative inlay work on woodworking projects, thin-gauge electrical shielding strips, and scale model detailing where a realistic metallic surface is required. Makers building custom enclosures, restorers fitting vintage machinery, and hobbyists crafting jewelry or art pieces all reach for this brass foil roll when accuracy and a clean finish matter most.
At just 0.05mm (0.002") thick, this foil is ideal for precision shimming, gap-filling, and applications where minimal material buildup is critical.
Choose the exact width your project requires, from a narrow 10mm (0.39") strip up to a broad 300mm (11.81") band — no trimming waste.
Copper-zinc brass offers natural corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and a warm golden tone that suits both functional and decorative uses.
Each piece is cut to a consistent 1000mm (39.37") length, giving you a reliable starting dimension for repeatable cuts and layouts.
Thin enough to cut cleanly with metal snips or a craft knife, yet holds its shape after forming — no annealing required for most bending tasks.
Works equally well as a mechanical shim, an inlay strip for woodworking, an EMI shielding layer, or a surface accent in jewelry and model making.

Measure the span you need to cover or shim, then select the next width up to ensure full coverage. For shimming applications, match the width to the bearing or joint face. For decorative inlay, choose a width that fits your routed channel. All widths are available in the variant selector above.
Yes — brass at this gauge is commonly used for precision shimming in mechanical assemblies. While it is thin and flexible, brass has sufficient compressive strength for light-to-medium load shimming tasks. For heavy-load applications, stacking multiple layers is a standard practice.
Brass is inherently corrosion-resistant in most indoor and light outdoor environments. It does not rust (rust is iron-based). Over time, brass may develop a natural patina; this can be preserved for a vintage look or polished away with a brass cleaner if a bright finish is preferred.
Yes. Brass is highly solderable and brazeable. Use a standard rosin-core solder or silver solder with an appropriate flux. Ensure the surface is clean and free of oxidation before soldering for the best joint quality.
At 0.05mm thickness, this foil cuts cleanly with metal snips, a sharp craft knife and steel ruler, or standard scissors. For very straight, repeatable cuts, a guillotine-style paper/metal cutter works well. CNC laser cutters and water-jet cutters are also compatible for precision shapes.
Yes. Brass bonds well with most metal-compatible adhesives including epoxy, cyanoacrylate (super glue), and contact cement. Lightly scuff the surface with fine-grit sandpaper before bonding to improve adhesion. For permanent structural bonds, two-part epoxy is recommended.
Brass is electrically conductive and is used in light EMI shielding applications. For effective shielding, ensure the foil overlaps at seams and is grounded properly. For demanding RF shielding requirements, consult your specific attenuation specifications, as performance varies with frequency and layer count.
