for everyone's information, a cut sheet of 20 lb. white bond (75 g/m^2, of
any post-consumer waste content, any size i've measured) is specified in
the USA to mic at 0.0040".  i've been in and around the printing business
the last 22 years, and that's a pretty fixed standard.  so you can shim to
your heart's content, at least up to about four sheets (before you might
get deformation issues in the stock).

i can't speak to the specs of paper sourced for our european, antipodean,
or other brethren scattered about the place.
