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! </div> <div>   </div> <div> David C. </div> </div> </body> </html>
