Does anyone know where I can buy isinglass material by the foot for repairing side curtains?

Thanks,
Mark

An upholstery shop may have it.

A shop that makes sails would have it for inserts in the sails.

Or boat tops like Biminis. The marine industry is a good source, depending on where you live.

Most automotive trim (upholstery) shops can get it. You should be able to purchase it from LeBaron Bonney as well. It comes in small sheets. I don't recall the size as it's been many years since I've had any.

Having done many boat tops I can tell you there are many different quality's of clear plastic...we buy from Upholstery wholesaler in Seattle...Perfic fit McDonalds...we now use the sheet clear..it is by far clearer...the roll eyesinglass is distorted and low grade is foggy...just a heads up....Dick

Thank you all for the info - I live on the coast and did not even think about Marine supply - I was also not aware that Bonney sold it so that gives me two sources.
