Here in the U.S. we have "Heavy Duty" foil available, its almost twice as thick as the regular. If the wood you used is soft like 'pine", use a "sanding sealer" to seal the wood first, let it dry then lightly sand it, so when you polish/burnish it the chances of the grain showing up will be minimized. BTW; the shinny side can be brushed, and the dull side can be polished, after all it's just metal foil.
@ Sneakypeet - Great Idea!
i used mdf, no grain at all just very very smooth but that sounds like a good idea as its very absorbant and it may prevent any bubbling when i apply the foil.
that heavy duty foil, is it the kind used for cooking? if so i think thats the same kind of stuff that i was going to get. you get cheap kitchen foil or you can get the brand name stuff thats quite thick.
