I happen to need some brass shapes, in particular 0.032 thick brass strip stock 1/16 inch across. My local hobby shop (Herb's in Doylestown PA) has let its supply of K&S Metals run dangerously low, and they dont appear to be too expeditious in restocking. Frankly I am not sure K&S has stuff that is that small in width. Does anyone know where I can find the stuff? I dont need a lot of it.

A store here in CA called the HOBBY LOBBY caries KS brass strips. I don't know if this is a national chain or not. They seem to either well stocked or I am the only one that buys brass stock.
John,
they just opened a Hobby Lobby near me in South Plainfield. I also understand there is a store near Bridgeton. Check their website.
Another good source is Pearl Paint (Art & Craft), but unless you find yourself in Paramus, NJ there are no other outlets nearby.
SOUTH PLAINFIELD !!! grew up there '53-'68
I recently bought some brass from Hobbytown USA. Here's their link, maybe there's a store near you:
Some of this may be old stock and you have to work through the website. Walthers had some 1/32" and 1/16" brass angle that I purchase last week. Closest I could find. 1/32" is .031".
1/32 x 1/16 x 12" Walthers Part # 370-15024, p. 883 Walthers 2012 HO Scale Reference A scale, $1.39, currently in stock at Walthers
Try specialshapes.com. All sorts of brass bars, flats, tubes, etc.
