Needed: source for copper sheeting

I would like to find a source for 20 or 24 gauge copper sheeting in lengths of at least 10 feet. Also, what type of household cleaning products are safe to use on copper?

Cleaning of copper use table salt and vineger in a paste made right on the copper surface. This has cleaned a copper apple butter kettle that's used over an open fire to look like new again.

I purchase flat sheets of copper through Old World Distributers Inc., Kalamazoo, MI. Hope this is helpful.
