mylar film- where can I get the OLD stuff?

[Hagarsez]

Does anyone know where I can get the mylar that I got from tandy years ago? It was like the film they sell now but had a coated background that held pencil lead really well and erased cleanly. I have seen posts from saddlemakers here but they order it in large rolls like 20' or so.

Do any of you want to sell me 1-2 yards? That should hole me for awhile. I'll pay shipping if you like.

Pete,

I have a quantity of .004 mylar that I used in my Architectural practice it is 'E' size (36" x 48") , but is preprinted with borders and title Block 'toothed' surface one side 'slick' back side. Approx. 34" X 42" clear area for drafting surface. It would be no problem to cut up to any size you need, if you will also look on internet www. dataprint.com is where I used to buy supplies, ALL sizes pre-cut and rolls. I would send a sheet or two if you supply postage and address.

P.S.

Also there is a large number of cheap CAD (computer aided drafting) programs available , (some free or a nominal fee) I use "Vector Works" but thats getting fairly expensive.

Hagar, that is exactly the stuff I am using, and it works great for leatherwork. If mine didnt have the grid lines, I would be happier, but they are handy to have at times too.

Thanks for that link.
