Thank you all for your kind words.
That one is much thicker than I used Jules. Although they do not quote the thickness, mine was only 0.3mm thick, so probably more like this:

Anyhow, as I said above, if It is too thick, you can still split the layers with a craft knife. Dennis.
Thanks for that Dennis, I've just ordered some.

How do you repair microwaves with it, sorry lost the plot now.
It is used as a cover for the waveguide.
Oh glad you told me that, doesn't mean a lot really I'm afraid, but thanks anyway.
Beautiful bangle, I love the gold 4 leafed clover :) Can I just ask - is this the mica that you mention? I think I would find it useful!

Yes that looks right, Claire. It comes as two sheets about 0.3mm thick and has many uses, such as:
Raising a part when soldering on a block.
Covering a part to protect it against flames.
Separating two parts to stop them being soldered together.
It survives the flame and can be re-used, so you will probably have enough for life.
However if you are throwing out anything with a heating element, there will be lots free inside. Dennis
Fab, thanks, I've just ordered some :)
Hi Dennis,
Absolutely beautiful piece, it is so delicate. I'd never be able to control the soldering spike on something like that!
May I ask if this is the Mica you were talking about?
