Disappointing Quality in Copper Foil

I had high hopes for this product as I'm an avid fan of Arts and Crafts, but was left severely disappointed. As a result of my tests, I determined that the adhesive quality of the copper foil was subpar, leading to frequent peeling and tearing. The only positive aspect was the black backing, which gave a nice contrast to the stained glass. I won't be repurchasing this product for future projects.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting due to the copper material used.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

3/16 copper foil

I was disappointed with the purchase of this copper foil. I've been buying this brand for a long time and I love it. I chose a thinner foil as I don't like thick solder lines, but this 3/16 foil doesn't seem to hold up as well as the 7/32 size. Now I buy 7/32.

Pros
  • stained glass
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

The black base is very thin.

You can see the copper tape through the black backing, so that's bad. The adhesive backing also "boils" slightly from under the copper tape when soldered, destroying adhesion and causing a mess. Maybe I just got bad tapes, but it's been a roll and I'm not impressed. 3M should have better quality but that's not my experience.

Pros
  • Kraft
Cons
  • Will be added later
