Copper 304.8mm x 304.8mm Sheet, 1.29mm, Dead-Soft

This dead-soft 16-gauge copper sheet offers the benefit of having larger sheets of this popular and affordable fabrication metal on hand when you need it; ideal for metal forming into hollowware pieces without soldering. Custom-cut the sheet to the size and shape your design requires—large or small. Due to the capabilities of the mills that produce it, each sheet may have minor scratches or blemishes. Copper sheet is ideal for cutting out shapes and forming components, bracelets, pendants and more. Dead soft copper sheet is easy to bend, shape and hammer; it is an ideal starting point for forming and shaping. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable (by annealing or heat-hardening) and is relative among metal types (each temper will feel and handle differently from one metal to another). When finishing your pieces, also keep in mind that the harder the metal is, the brighter a finish it will take. 16-gauge sheet is useful for substantial or heavy jewelry, accessories and hollowware or any design that demands high durability. As you know, metal sheet has as many uses as there are jewelers and designers who use it to achieve their vision; these suggested uses simply represent some of the more common applications of this metal weight. Sold in precut 12" x 12" sheets. The color of copper is popular for a variety of mixed-metal and alternative metal designs; its affordability adds an additional facet to its popularity for both maker and clients. For some customers, the perceived spiritual/medicinal properties contribute yet another facet—especially for cuff and bangle bracelet designs. Because heavier-gauge sheet is milled fewer times during the manufacturing process, it tends to have a semi-bright finish; achieving a high polish on this sheet requires some additional finishing.
