Tool Wrap

[WindyParticipant @windy30762]

A plea to any one in the heat treatment industry that uses 321 or otherwise stainless steel tool wrap.

I am after a piece annealed of about 24"x 60"x 0.002" to make replacement outer skins for my National record breaking flash steam tethered hydroplane steam generator.

122.91mph at Kingsbury water park on the 23/09/2012 (to be ratified).

I have had quotes but would have to buy a 7.6 metre roll at £222.00 total.

Does anyone know where I could purchase a small quantity at a reasonable price.

The model has not to exceed 16lbs dry which I just managed to achieve.

The steam generators outer skin weight could be reduced by a few ozs if I use tool wrap of 0.002" thickness.

Help.

Used for protecting metals during heat treatment in a furnace.

McMaster Carr in the USA list 10" x 10 ft strips for $21 US. Not sure if they wll ship to UK, but if so, that's a lot less than 222 UK pounds, including shipping.

Link is below.
