Lee,
I had to call 3 or 4 stores in one city before I found one that had it. The
store that had it was in the same chain as those that didn't (NAPA) and he had
a huge roll, snipped it off and sold it by the inch. In another town, they
(again, same chain) didn't have brass, but had copper.

I get it from Utrecht, my local art supply store. The package is made by
KS Engineering package number 258 and includes .001, .002, .003 and
.005 brass shims. Its in a section with model making parts, miniature
trees and grass colored moss. You also might try a craft or hobby store.
