Hi,
I'm having difficulty in locating some ultra thin lead foil to purchase.
I have some of the Verlinden lead sheet but this is too thick for my present needs.
Can anybody point me in the right direction, please?
Thank you.

Joe.

The dentist is one source, but if you do a search there are dozens of options out there, some of which are extremely thin.

The covering around the top of wine and cava/champagne bottles is also useful and usually fairly thin.
