Works great. Weighs a ton per square inch, forms to any shape, cuts easily, lays flat and it stays put. Surround the edge of anything too wavy to focus properly and you're good to go!!

Good idea! I use marble but sometimes it's too thick.

I've been using it for awhile now. I work for a hospital, when there is remodeling done around the x-ray department the contractors don't usually mind if I get a peice or two, since they have a problem getting rid of it (environmentally).The peices I get are about .125" thick.

That can be some nasty stuff. I would make sure to wash your hands after using it. And while using dont be eating any snacks.

They make us wear gloves when handling it at work. OSHA and all.

Where would you be able to find this lead flashing? Lowes?

I use to get mine at a plumbing supply outlet, we use to make gaskets out of the stuff at the hospital I worked at.

You can also use lead came from a stained glass supply, it's flexible and a good size for edges.

Plus you can laser cut toys for kids out of it.

Okay, sorry, that was wrong. I apologize :D What do I know, I used to eat the paint and I turned out just fine.... :)

A sheet of laser brass (brass coated steel) laid on the table provides a good base for things to be held down with those small super strong magnets..
