REFLECTOR: Nomex/Stainless

[J.F.Sheehan at larc.nasa.gov]

Kurt,
The older kits came with a very thin stainless with nomex attached to it.
 This is a very light weight solution but not a good one. I used it and
 wish I had used the thicker stainless. The thin stuff get so easily
damaged every time you touch it with a tool or oil filter etc. 
The thicker stainless is .030   I however used the older stuff and 
it just cuts with a pair of shears I imagine the new stuff does also.
