I hear ya knockin, Andy, that was the way I wanted to approach it. When we
went to get the copper, my long-gone Scotch grandma took over my body- 2x3
sheets were $1.fiftysomething a pound and the full sheet (which would still
have needed one seam) was $4.seventysomething, so I got enough cutoffs to do
the whole kitchen and then some for what the first sheet would have cost.
And then I got home and the customer says, "I don't want to look at seams.
Make 'em disappear." This lady is both easy and hard to work for, because
she knows what she wants. She won't consider seams of any kind and I haven't
been able to sell the idea.
Thus the goo.
I'm pretty happy with the size of the seams (barely visible) but she'd like
them to disappear if possible.
