I will get some of thet foil, thanks for the heads up..different colors could be very interesting to play with, I don't know about the weight thing, the single layer foil and epoxy don't even register on my scale, I didn't put anything under the foil, I just rubbed the pattern in and it held when applied over the epoxy then I rubbed the pattern out smooth in the eye area...used low tack tape to keep the mess down and the seams neat...I'd like to find an actual fish scale pattern in relief to copy, that would look nice...PEACE
