Stick with confidence—a durable adhesive keeps this shim stock from sliding out of place. Cut the shim stock into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.

Fine-tune thickness without worrying about stacking multiple shims. Cut the shim stock into custom shapes that suit your needs. It's made of layers of material bonded with adhesive—peel off the layers with a utility knife until you reach your desired thickness. To make peeling easier, warm the created shims to soften the adhesive. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.

At 99% pure, 1100 is among the most conductive, corrosion-resistant, and formable aluminum alloys. Since it’s so soft, it’s often shaped into terminal blocks, raceways, and other parts that don’t need to be hard or strong. For high-stress electrical parts such as bus bars, look to 6101 aluminum instead.

Shield, insulate, and make quick repairs—aluminum foil is a jack-of-all-trades. Wrap it around pipe to hold in heat and keep out moisture, or around wire to block electromagnetic interference. To patch damaged insulation, tape it over tears and holes. You can also use it to cover surfaces while painting and processing.
