I'm buying a sheet of sterling silver, and I'm not sure what gauge i should getI was thinking of getting gauge 30, which is .25 mm, but I'm not sure if it will be durable enoughI'm going to be cutting the silver sheet into fairly small pieces, putting them through a test, and then I'm going to look at how much they tarnishedIs 30 gauge silver as flimsy as household aluminum foil, or will it hold it's shape if bent in half?
