Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen................

I was trying to think of how to respond to this, but all I can do is thank 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!
