Yes, you are correct that a "mil" is 0.001" US. I would hate to put a
1.5mm tape on a sailplane.

Curiosity: I wonder how Monokote Trim sheet compare for durability and
thickness? My guess is that the Monocote would be thinner and lighter,
but quite a lot more expensive:

Monocote is $3.99 for 5" x 1yd
Amazon's JVCC MPF-01 is $13.68 for 1" x 72yds


I'm sure you wanted to know that dept:

Solarfilm's Solartrim white self-adhesive film works well as cover disks
for the access holes in a Libelle rudder. Cut disks from the sheet, stick
them on. They stayed on, undamaged, for 9 years and peeled off easily the
last time I needed to take the rudder off.
