Re: Kapton aluminized



Hi Tim -

    what we observed with the 1mu is that there are scratches on it. I was
hoping that by going to a thicker layer, we could reduce the the chance 
of that occuring. As long as the finish is "clean", I am ok with 1 mu, I was 
just hoping to reduce the chance of problems.
