Fishpaper came in today from two different AliExpress suppliers. Rings and sheets. They both look like normal stickers. Is there an easy way to tell if it’s the real thing? I used a very scientific method of measuring how quickly I can burn through with the soldering iron at 400 Celsius. The proclaimed fishpaper managed to withstand about 30 seconds. It was about the same for the sheets and the rings. I did the same test with equally thick normal paper and that one only lasted 15 seconds.

Good heat resistance but thats not as important as abrasion resistance

I see. How good is the abrasion resistance on the real thing? I can tear mine by hand easily. Like normal paper.
Here’s how I cut the nickel strips for welding. No sharp edges. I’ll only be doing 2P. Do you think it will be alright even with this not-real-fishpaper thing? This was the last missing bit for my battery pack and I don’t want to wait a couple more weeks for a replacement.
exact same situation as you.
like exactly. thats probably fine. In the end i just cut my own fishpaper

Did the “fake” fishpaper turn out ok? was it real enough or was it garbage?
i tried ordering a roll of adhesive backed fish paper from amazon and they sent me non-adhesive backed, but it was the real deal. Then i re-ordered and got what i wanted. I’m hoping to be able to run it through my die cutter and make custom insulators.
Here’s what i use on the 10S4Ps i’m always building:
and for the singles i usually use this, although there are other vendors and if you shop you can find deals:
