The easiest paper to use for doing string rubbings is masking paper, available from paint supply stores or hardware stores with a substantial paint department. It comes in a roll, is about a foot wide, is thin but strong. Very easy to get a lot of details using an ordinary pencil (string windings, etc.) Maybe not as demented as mylar (certainly cheaper). Z!
