I'm no metalurgist, but I can't imagine it would make any difference. The
plating is very thin, and it's the lead that does the trick. ;-)
As for cloth, canvas seems to work best. I tried a couple of those little nylon
stuff sacks you can get at camping supply stores once, but they were too
slippery and didn't want to stay put.
