What you need is a flexible copper tape, wafer thin, it could come on

Also used in Shipbuilding in the Radio and Radar Rooms, again for Earth

The price of Copper has soared lately so try your Industrial Estates for the
Electrical Wholesalers instead of Garden Centres

Comes in 'about' 20 metre rolls 'about' 15mm wide and you can cut it with a
SHARP pair of Kitchen Scissors. Put the strip right up near the pivot when
you cut it.
