Iridium

[Gruffyground]

I am a publisher of finely printed, limited edition books, with some special copies bound in full Oasis goatskin leather. The spines have been variously lettered with gold, platinum or palladiium. Does anyone produce iridium foil for such a use? Presumably it would need to be alloyed (with platinum?) to make it malleable and ductile. - Anthony Baker, Somerset, England

These people may help?

No idea on the need to alloy something as thin as that - but they will know. Based in Eynsham, so not too inconvenient either...
