Members dikman Posted July 2, 2023 Members Report Posted July 2, 2023 Tarnishing won't make any difference. If you feel it's too thin double it up, if you put something each side (leather, cloth whatever) to protect it then it should last a very long time.

Contributing Member fredk Posted July 3, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted July 3, 2023 There has been a great increase in 'creeper' car thefts in the UK. N.I. is seeing the biggest increase. Several expensive cars just last week. It targets 'key-less' cars. In a 'creeper' theft the thief uses a special scanner reader to read the details of your electronic car 'key'. They can do it from up to 30ft from your key. Then they transfer the information to another device with which they can open your car and start it and drive away. All this inside about 3 minutes. The technology these thieves use is the same as used for reading debit or credit cards, oe even bus passes Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Dumb cars, aka smart cars can be started and stopped from your phone, tablet, pc and remotely via evil corporation. Madness what they are promoting... Smart device = government/corporate control and data collection, not real smart. I drive a old 1993 4wd, I would never buy a digital car. Technology has been turned into a weapon and is being used against us! The manufacturer is the biggest criminals! Edited July 3, 2023 by pikefish spelling, lol Quote

Its meant for fly-making for fly fishing*. But, 1. its expensive for all you get 2. its much heavier than the aluminium tape, 3. if you go through a metal detector / scanner it will block that and you'll be pulled and searched * who fishes for flies?
