Has anyone tried this?: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/titanium-foil-windscreen.html (http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/titanium-foil-windscreen.html)
I'd like to know if it's easy to cut and punch holes in. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hmm... you can save 14.99 by making your own windscreen out of crinkled aluminum foil. This works great (I've used it with my Esbit for years). When you pack up, just wrap the windscreen around the square Esbit stove to keep it from getting wadded up.

I have 10 different windscreens already. I just wanted to try the titanium one to see what it's like and was wondering if anyone had used this stuff.
It works, very light, thin, and durable.

The stuff from bpl.com is very, very thin. Almost too thin IMO. Very easy to punch. But all too easy to crumple up. So, you have to be careful about how you store it.
