Re: aluminum for carver
The kapton material is available from 3M I believe, but they only sell in GIANT rolls (like 3000 feet or so). James (Toy Maker) may be able to give you more info.

Re: aluminum for carver
Instead using Kapton, I am using Mylar 6 micron from Ebay. I also running 2 aluminum strip instead of one as the original . It very a fun project. I am using the aluminum foil from Costco food court which is about 6 micron. I was able to cut 3mm strip. However it is only 13 inch long so I glued them together by the automotive rear window defroster . I will post the pictures before and after sometimes next week

Re: aluminum for carver
Problem solved.
I got the aluminum foil 11 micron thickness from the local japanese store. it turns out Japanese use the thinner aluminum
it is very cheap 1.5$ for 22mx25cm.
Our carver aluminum ribbon is 13micron .
I was able to cut into 3mm with 2 meter long by folding the sheet 2m (coated with veg oil) .
then I folded in to 1 piece : 1 side is about 1.1 the other is 90 cm and so on to the final 25 cm .
Then I used the paper cut and slammed it down to the size I want.
note: oil coating between the aluminum to make it easy to seperate after cutting and fold uneven is also help .
