I use the shimming foil found in the kitchen -12.5p/metre.

It has it's uses. When I was leveling the gantry on my machine, I couldn't find any "proper" shim stock that was thin enough to get it nuts-on. Dug around in the fireproofing box and found a roll of appallingly thin kitchen foil from the local pound shop, just the job

I'd use fag paper if it got the job done. The main thing is it doesn't change size.

I have seen fag paper used to lift an edge on an angle grinder. That was 60 years ago, it is amazing what impresses you as a kid, enough to make a lasting memory.
