what do you mean by 'thin flimsy'?
Do you mean stiff / rigid card?

Did you try the little stationery shop that services the art college? I only found it when I took Lee to the college for a nosey round, they had everything you could think of in there!
Just around the corner from you, down Zenatti towards Pub 2000, turn right at the end and its tucked away hidden in the corner. I never even knew it was there

Hubby said they have it in Carrefour.

German made and 6.25le a roll and the roll he reckons is about 3 metres long.
Just like a roll of sellotape but with paper on one of the sticky sides [Wink]
