Yes, on Baldwin Corfam replacements. The original was about 
1.3mm (0.052"), but the thinner Ecsaine works fine. I also 
laminate two layers together with PVC-E for grand backchecks, 
and love it. Toray makes a 1.2mm, and 1.8mm product too, but 
nobody in this country seems to stock anything but the thin 
stuff, so I improvise.
