Hi Ed,
No, I never used copper foil. If I said copper foil, I apologize. Although, I did price it
once. FORGET IT! It is way too expensive. The usage on copper foil is just too low, so it
has a very high price. It is cheaper to use aluminum, by far. True, the copper is a better
conductor, but for the price, the aluminum is good enough for me.
