That sounds like exactly what we need, though a bit overrated for 1/8" I think, so it's probably a bit thicker that you're remembering. Maybe we should test it with a couple cows or something first.

By the way, while I have you on the line, I wanted to tell you that I'm real sure that if I ever have the pleasure of meeting you (some scenic spot in Kansas, perhaps) I'll be much more interested in having a beer than in a reverse drag race going from 60-0.
