Thanks that looks promising.

I use them for my CNC machine for levelling the bed. They withstand scraping.

Well you could also just spray as many layers as you'd like of polyurethane or conformal coating or a thick layer of any epoxy.

If you can’t find fish paper, try a search for “insulating cambric”

Don't want to appear dismissive - but at low voltage and 3mm - not clear why this is an issue. Any piece of card will suffice. If through hole component leads are an issue then cut them flush.

Lay down a few strips side by side ,who gives a diddley dang .

Agreed

Older Yamaha consoles used the polycarb,double sided tape insulation , Ive noted a few faults with modern Yammy gear because of lack of said insulation after a mixer got a bump while energised ,solder side of the board touched ground and metal was vapourised , definately worth attending to if tube voltages are involved or if theres any chance energised points and ground could come into contact inadvertantly

visual food grade polycarb like comes on easter egg packaging and double sided tape has done me proud on many a project ,where I needed to make sure solder side doesnt touch down to chassis underextreme vibration .

There's so much waste plastic around from packaging. Couldn't that provide some sturdy sheet from, say a Tupperware-like box? Or blister packaging?

Just be aware that normal bubble wrap is a static hazard. The anti static stuff is tinted pink. Don't ask me why !!!

Back in the day when high voltage was common, fish paper was, too. I have seen it recently referred to as barley paper. No clue how either name came into being. Look for it on battery builder sites. Here's one: 8x Fish Adhesive Insulator Paper Electrical battery Insulating [Fish Adhesive Paper Cover] - $7.99 : Lithium Rechargeable Batteries, Battery BMS, Pack Assembling

Maybe use a piece of "Veroboard" that has just the holes drilled and no metal wiring traces?

Thanks for the responses. I have now ordered some of this "RS number: 775-7790". Bit more than I wanted to spend but it's done now.
