I'm looking to make a windscreen and a DIY caldera cone. I've already got some practice with aluminum flashing but I'm looking to switch to Ti for durability and shape retention.
Tigoat has been out of stock for a while now and I'm not coming up with much on ebay.
Mar 13, 2013 at 11:06 am #1965097I'm surprised that you didn't find anything on ebay. I usually see a lot of Ti foil on ebay. You could try Suluk46. I don't have time to check right now if they are still offering it.

Mar 13, 2013 at 12:11 pm #1965129What thickness are you looking for?
I found several, ebay titanium foil.
Mar 13, 2013 at 12:14 pm #1965130Kevin your site only lists 2 dimensions for the foil: thickness X height(assuming)…is this priced by the foot?
Mar 13, 2013 at 1:47 pm #1965169@Colin (covering eBay part below) I'll give Suluk46 another look. I remember seeing them offering pre-sized windscreens but not materials or cones.
***doesn't look like they sell sheets/foil anymore. I'll shoot them an email later though.
@Eric
This is the only one that might work for me. Everything else seems too thick or not wide enough (almost everything is under 4")

For the caldera cone shape, you need extra width to fit (I'll likely need somethign like 12×18") the cone pattern.
@Kevin, thanks for the site. I'll check it out when I have some time (got back from lunch and just wanted to check this quick before catching back up on work)Mar 13, 2013 at 2:30 pm #1965188By the foot, however we have several types around just shoot me an email what you are looking for
Mar 13, 2013 at 3:52 pm #1965236Thanks Kevin, I'll try to figure how what size I need tonight and get back to you.
