[UK] Copper or Aluminum self adhesive tape

[Charlie]

Right, two questions.

Firstly, can I solder both copper and aluminium tape? It won't chuck out
poisonous gasses and kill me or anything, will it?

Secondly, where can I buy 1/4" tape (either copper or aluminium) in the UK
online? I can find the stuff from 12mm up, but nothing smaller.

Thanks for your help.

Charlie.

No worse than any other soldering - normal soldering techniques will not
work wtih aluminum

Actually, I'm making pendants, but someone told me this stuff is used for
electrical circuits! I know, very strange, but I figured I'd get some help
here.
