Again everyone. the group buy is off for the Mylar. Eric Pitts led us to a company which sells it very cheap and you can order it direct. 12 feet x 11 1/4 inches for $10.80. That will be plenty for you to have a reserve for later when it needs to be replaced. Here is the link again. http://www.surplussales.com/RF/RFTeflon-Mylar_sht.html When I ordered mine, I had it in two days.
