Yake Bait Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'd love to get my hands on some 4" or wider rolls of aluminum and copper foil tape. Anybody have a good source for getting these materials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reid Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 3M used to make it here. I dont know if they still do. It looks pretty good and the adhesive they used was pretty good too. Certainly wasnt cheap though. Google returned 1,150,000 hits for "aluminum and copper foil tape" so it shouldnt be too hard to find. Try the yellow pages or people like Bear, Sellotape, or Norton.

spare tire Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Try Rocconi ace hardware for aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esoteric Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 You can get sheets of copper foil for example on ebay Seems quite expensive but no doubt you can find it cheaper in the US.....as usual:( 4" aluminium tape should be quite readily available. Again I bought mine off ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Regular aluminum foil used in conjunction with a good spray adhesive works quite well. It is flimsier than the tape, but if you work with care, it performs very well. Try a store that sells candy making supplies for colored foils. I got copper foil sheets (5 x5)that I bought at a local craft store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomdart Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I second Husky's response, and also would add that if money is an issue, you should get the aluminum type and a can of quality copper spraypaint. You would be surprised how awesome copper paint on foil can look. I think the one I have is Krylon. The copper paint can come in very useful on any number of patterns from frog to craw to shiner (maybe goby as well, never seen one.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomdart Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hey, Pete, how did it work? Keep us posted, I'm curious to see which one worked best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yake Bait Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I used regular foil with a spray adhesive as suggested and it turned out fine. I was able to cover the entire bait with it no problem and no issues with teh foil sticking to the bait. http://www.tackleunderground.com/photos/index.php?n=674 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 There is a craft dealer in Tomah or Tomahawk Wisc. Dont remeber which that I got 2" wide foil from. www.happycraftnmosaicsupplis.com It probably is not wide enough for you but you could use a piece per side. Seemed stiff to try and fold over a back or belly of a lure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
