<DIV> Figured it out with the help of my math major co worker.</DIV>
<DIV> A 1 mil. thickness is .001of an inch. The Mil. is roman numeral for a 1000. I didn't know that. In an attempt to vindicate my stupidity I asked 5 others if they knew and none did so I feel better know, Thanks, Mike<BR><BR><B><I>mike mueller <mups1953@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV>

<DIV> Ok I took out the metric converter and I think I have the math right.</DIV>
<DIV> Could one of you smart dudes check this?</DIV>
<DIV> A micron is 1000th of a millimeter, correct?</DIV>
<DIV> A millimeter is about .039+", Correct?</DIV>
<DIV> 25 microns is about .001, correct?</DIV>
<DIV> Then what's a mil.? And how thick is a mil?</DIV>
<DIV> I need to order 1 mil. vinyl and i'd like to know.</DIV>
<DIV> TIA, Mike</DIV>
