After years of using recycled sheet metal to repair things, recently I actually bought some virgin sheet metal at the local hardware store. I quickly overcame the pain and suffering associated with actually PAYING for metal because it was such a treat to work with clean, straight metal. 18 ga is about 1.2mm thick which was about right for the floor spots I repaired.
