    It’s a good excuse to open a bottle, beer bottle caps are also good for mixing small quantities of paint

It can be easily embossed for webbing and being self adhesive will easily wrap around stowage etc. I even use it to simulate zimmerit as it can easily be removed if the effect isn't what you want and it is much closer to the correct scale thickness. You can also use it for natural metal finishes on aircraft.
      Thanks for the tip Mar, that does sound useful!

        Ah but don't use the wine bottle foil with the beer bottle caps, you shouldn't mix grape and grain!
