Copper bottom
« on: July 17, 2009, 03:44:29 pm »
I have an old kit of the Billings Jylland, covered in dust and minus the fittings, I am just having a browse to see how much is available.
For starters I am looking for 1:100 copper plates, any idea's ?   (they were not included in the fitting kit)

Self adhesive copper foil tape available here

http://www.fredaldous.co.uk/product_251680004.htm

Other widths might be available elsewhere. 
Other links suggested garden centres for slug repellent tape.  Quite appropriate, really, considering that copper plating the bottom was intended to discourage the wildlife from eating the hull.
