I've assembled four strain gauge KITS from Vernier.  The one remaining
piece to assemble is the strain gauge element itself.  This element needs
to be glued to a suitable base material (metal).  For forces, say in the
0.1 to 20 newton range, I need some suggestions of suitable metals.  I've
been hung up for a while since someone advised that mild steel should not
be used because of its tendancy to deform under stress.  In addition to
metal type, some idea of dimensions would be helpful.   The element is
about 1 x 2 or 3 cm.
