Bridge pattern material

[David Love]

Unless you are making a template to use on all similar models, I think it's
better to lay it out from scratch.  Even better is to make sure the scale is
correct to begin with by running the scale numbers through a program or have
somebody else do it for you.  Laying it out from scratch isn't that
difficult.  Too many times I've seen poorly made or transferred patterns
with inconsistent offsets and inaccurate speaking lengths.  With mylar
patters you might just be copying someone else's mistakes.

Greetings, 

I'm attempting my fist soundboard replacement a la Bolduc and I'm looking
for some Mylar to make the hole pattern in the bridges. I've been to arts n
crafts stores, office supplies and the big orange builders store (you know
the one) and all I can find is a 8x11 sheet product. Apparently I can get
this in a roll, as explained on the Bolduc soundboard replacement video with
Christian Bolduc, but what kind of supplier has this stuff. Even been to a
paper specialty shop but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
