[steveo3002]

looking for a small peice of perforated sheet metal (any kind) that has the smallest holes i can find , so hopefully under 0.5mm

any ideas ..any one work with this stuff?

I've noticed that B&Q sell a few bits and pieces - not sure what it is like but it might be worth considering if you only want a small piece?

Like this for example?

.....or Maplin if you just want a small piece to go over a filter or vent?

Ive never seen perf sheet with a 0.5 hole, for anything that fine we normally use woven wire cloth, I use these folk http://www.wiremesh.co.uk/
What sort of size piece are you after
Edit: APW list a 0.8 hole, its the smallest in the catalogue

These people seem to do the kind of thing you are after - not sure if they will supply in small quantities?
