B&Q perhaps? I think I just ordered mine from ebay

Garden centres usually sell it, it's much cheaper on eBay though.

maplins dont do it, and neither do b&q. you can get slug repellant tape from garden centres, but this is thinner than sheild tape, and also, has a non-conductive adhesive, which means you have to solder every peice together to form a 'circuit'. ebay. look for the stuff with conductive adhesive.

DOH. I've done two of my basses and my daughters jazz with the very same, didn't know about the non-conductive adhesive. This means I now have to remove the pickguard yet again from my p bass project, oh bollix.

Ebay seems to be the best contender as i only need a bit and some of those rolls are massive!

thanks for your reply's folks,although TIM seems to have a problem with this site i find it rather helpful

Been thinking since I posted in this thread.

The application of the garden centre foil did stop the buzzing on my bass, so maybe I won't strip it off and start again.

electrically conducting paint is also available on e -bay and easier to apply.

I'm a bit late to the thread but I always get my copper shielding from EBay as it works out cheaper
