[TheForge] Mica, revisited

[Michael Horgan]

What sort of manipulation did you have in mind, Mark? Mostly you can 
cut it, split it, bend it slightly. I got a book of mica once,(long 
ago, pre web, sigh), and split off sheets to use in a lantern. To 
bend it you would need to frame it to keep it under tension.
For a little more info take a look at http://micasales.com/
