      Yep ... but WHERE ? Never seen it on a shelf in the USA.   
      Is it more common in the UK perhaps ? For what use ?   
      
      However aluminum/SS tape is more readily found in retail   
      locations. Problem is that you can't solder to it. However   
      even a "spring" connection will serve. Conductive paint   
      can be had too, but only from electronics suppliers.
