I’m looking for a source for very thin titanium foil like what Toaks uses on their wind screen.

I got this from Ebay, IIRC came from east Europe and with £25 could make two.
It weigths very little, I think is around 50gr which is not bad for a support/windshield all in one.Jul 16, 2017 at 2:04 pm #3479240Interesting! I had not thought of looking on eBay for raw materials! It looks like Ti foil is available in lots of different thicknesses. Thanks, Andrea.
