Need some thin stainless steel for a cathode

When I ordered the supplies for the niobium andonixing I forgot to order theri cathode material

I thought, that I could just use some thin copper sheet, but they say that won t work

They say that I can use some thin stainless steel to line the vowl like a small Rubbermaid
container

Is there any around or where would I go to get some

Thanks

Suggest you make a quick run over to ace iron and metal, they have thin stalinless that would be perfect. Its about $1 a pound. 4603 Irving Blvd, Dallas, TX 75247

They told me I had to find it for myself sort of hard when I don t see well

It seems that what I really need to start is a piece of stainless steel that hos a surface area
larger than a couple of sq inches to start wtih

Do you have any idea of your dimensions needed?

The niobium pieces I will be working with to start an 7/8 in discs Will do one at a time

This what I will be doing

I was not going to start with batch work just the brush on the disc
