    Hi Mark I believe that unfortunately you did order the wrong type of
    gold foil. I believe that 0.005 mm will be too thin to work with. 

    I roll my kumboo gold from 24kt gold coins (Canadian Maple Leaf
    Coins, 0.9999 gold).  I roll the coins as thin as possible on my
    mill. I measured my kumboo gold with a digital calliper and it ranges
    between 0.04 and 0.06 mm. I have found this gold to work very well
    (been doing kumboo for about 10 yrs) and it is a very economical way
    to obtain kumboo gold.
