2mil polished nickel shim stock is probably available, but I don't know where from. I have some pretty thin "nickel silver" (doesn't actually contain any silver) that came pretty bright. I've ordered 2mil thick nickel solder stencils--They come matte, but I'll bet polishing those to a mirror finish wouldn't be difficult (dremel with polishing compound). Somebody on the net must have an old 2mil thick nickel stencil they can send you a few scraps of. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ioan Tempea Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2015 8:07 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Mirror tape Dear Technos, We need to inspect epoxy bonds of a few components placed about 0.010" away from a cavity wall, perpendicular to the wall. As direct view is not possible, I was thinking about using some sort of highly reflective tape or thin sheet metal, that we would slide between the wall and the terminations. Do you have any suggestions of such material? Thanks, Ioan Tempea, P. Eng.
