I have NO experience with copper foil or antenna...but I did have an
experience with foil window security tape developing a hairline
break...perhaps due to temperature related expansion/contraction. I would
think your application would encounter temperature related considerations
made more acute by attachment to dissimilar materials...just a thought.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I may be wrong, but the foil that I remember using
for a burglar alarm was much thinner than the copper foil my wife uses for
stained glass, which I plan to use. I "stress tested" it and it seems quite
durable. Since copper is such a ductile material, it should tolerate the
expansion/contraction cycles it will encounter.

Thanks,
Dennis Johnson
