Hi Jeff-
Try the Narrows Marina 253-564-4222 in Tacoma. I bought some double sided
mylar rolls from them about a year or so ago. I believe them to have self
adhesive mylar tape as well. I have also tried using mylar cheeks for anchovy
imitations. I found it to be a trade off with good twinkle vs. good lively
action for use in the salt around here.
Regards,
T Wolf
