i need a sturdy option for my snow peak trek titanium bowl. i made one out of an aluminum serving tray, but its slightly too flimsy, but also has a few too many sharp edges, desipte my best efforts to fold them down, etc. any ideas on what materials to use and what design works best?
thanks!

I wouldnt want plastic, or alum foil, those just arent durable enough.
