Metal source ? (Page 1/1)
MidEngineManiac MAR 10, 07:08 AM
I've been searching for a week with no luck.

I'm looking for a roll of a fairly soft steel for edge trimming. It's to hide staples on the edges and inside corners of upholstered pieces.

ALL I can find is all-strap, which isnt too bad, but looks like all-strap. Steel banding for skids, which looks right but is stainless so not malleable enough. Or short pieces of brass or something from hobby suppliers...Which is too short.

Anybody know of a source for something that looks like industrial strapping, but with the malleability of all-strap in 25 or 50 foot rolls ? 3/8 or 1/8" wide will work, 5/8 absolute max.

rolls of shim stock.

Brass, copper or ss by the roll or sheet on amazon with different thicknesses.
