Err, it actually said 2.1 mils, not mm, for the overall thickness (carrier
+adhesive). You had to scroll down a long way to find that.

IIRC 'mil' is a USAian engineering unit (1/1000"), so 2.1 mils is
0.0021", or 0.0535 mm in SI units

Yes, you are correct that a "mil" is 0.001" US. I would hate to put a 1.5mm tape on a sailplane.

Curiosity: I wonder how Monokote Trim sheet compare for durability and
thickness? My guess is that the Monocote would be thinner and lighter,
but quite a lot more expensive:

Monocote is $3.99 for 5" x 1yd
Amazon's JVCC MPF-01 is $13.68 for 1" x 72yds


I'm sure you wanted to know that dept:

Solarfilm's Solartrim white self-adhesive film works well as cover disks
for the access holes in a Libelle rudder. Cut disks from the sheet, stick
them on. They stayed on, undamaged, for 9 years and peeled off easily the
last time I needed to take the rudder off.

Monokote UH described measures just under .002 inches including adhesive.
Available in many hobby shops or hobby mail order sources. Sheet is 5 by 36 inches.
FWIW.
