Aluminium foil thickness in microns.
    #21806137 - 06/14/15 12:28 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So people seem to be using 'heavy duty' aluminium foil for printing and so..

How many microns are considered to be in that range?

I´m in Spain, so spare your time recommending me any shops.

It doesn't matter.. any kind of aluminum foil works.

Best to sterilize it or run it through the oven before use

This.

IDK how many microns heavy duty foil is. Just use the best brand you can find. It should say something about being able to take more abuse or being thicker than others.

I suspect "heavy duty" is mostly marketing b.s. I've never known aluminum foil to vary in thickness.  In fact, if it's thicker it just costs more and is harder to work with.

Of course I'm a cheap bastard.:dancer:
I don't think contams can magically pierce aluminum foil which is a couple of  µms thicker :sunny:

There is a difference in the quality between brands of foil, I can assure you.  You want foil that is sturdy and holds the shape you mold it into.  And not just once, but several times.

Heavy duty foil is very much so. It's what you'd use for grilling, on a BBQ or propane grill...
