Working in a trade school I had access to many different types of materials. Metal formed very easily, but the environment of a shop got banged around leaving openings around the filter which would leak. Plastic solved that problem and as I said reduced the number of times hands and wrist were cut. Out in the field we also found cardboard a good one time substitute.

What is it with us humans? - We almost always prefer the costly $$$ solution to the cheap.did anyone look at the Amazon link I posted? These things are incredible.
Why purchase this single use item, in a glossy package, when you can get a small role of ductile aluminium flashing (probably for less $) that will do the job just as well & can be used for a host of other projects.
The aluminium can be shaped/formed by hand, will hold the shape as long as you want, can be cut with scissors (better with snips) into whatever length you want and reused indefinitely
