I need to set the ignition point gap on my Gravely walk behind to 0.025" but I can't find my gap set tool. Anyone know of a common item (playing card, aluminum foil cardboard box, nail file etc...) that might approximate that thickness?

Match book cover about .012 thick, two layers equal about .024. I measured the pocket clip on a Sanford brand uniball throw-away pen which measured .023 and it's about 1/4 inch wide. A business card came in about .015 thick.

I took a sheet of paper, folded it so I have 6 thicknesses measured with calipers (putting as much force as possible) and came up with .026....results may vary..
