I've seen it for sale on German sites via Ebay in 5 metre coils but I'm unable to tell whether when unwound it will have a permanent bend to it to some extent or will lie flat; I need it to lie flat when unwound. If anyone knows a UK source I'd be very glad to year of it. I've looked at the BSS site but they only seem to sell it in sheet, not strip.
