The sheet lead that I have is about .050" thick (a little thicker than 3/64"), but I'm sure that it's available in other thicknesses. You can cut it with tin snips, but a couple of passes with a utility knife works just as well, and will allow more precision if you're trying to fit it into a particular space. Make sure to thoroughly wash your hands after handling the lead, too.
