Metallic sheet thinner than aluminum foil?

Hi,

I'm using aluminum foil to act as a spacer between two heated pieces of glass to allow a layer of wax to pass through the space. However, standard aluminum foil has proven to be too thick -- is there a product I could purchase that would fit the bill -- a thinner sheet of a metal that is not combustable at temps of about 250 degrees?

Thanks,

- jim

Thin aluminum foil, obviously!

The only supplier I know anything about is Goodfellow. But they're rather pricey for small samples.

Gold leaf is probably the thinnest metal foil readily available.

Dissolve the plastic from an aluminized Doritos bag?

Chocolate wrapper ? Peel the paper off the back first.
