In a former life, I worked in the Graphic Arts industry-We had a Gravure Printing plant. Trust me, go to a larger town, & locate a graphic arts supply house, & ask to see the 3M representative. They make tapes for every conceivable use & purpose-They very well could make one that is super thin. & you could be all set. Down here in the South, we have "Dillard's-If its Paper", but trust me, they'll have something. Another place to try might be a commercial electric/electronic supply house, say like W.W. Grainger's-They're nationwide, have an incredible supply line, often you go in there, tell the guy what you want/need, 10 minutes later, you're on yr way home., what you need in yr hot little hand.. ANOTHER place to try is McMaster-Carr, they have at least ONE example of EVERYTHING that was ever made-I ain't kiddin'... I can even remember the phone # of the Atlanta branch-404-346-7000, they work best if you have their catalog, but get one-Every Budding Mad Scientist/ol' electronics Junkie orta have at least one..Grainger's catalog is called the "Motorbook", I think you could order a electric motor that would run the Panama Canal lock gates.. Might take 'em a week or 2, but if you gots the Money, Honey, THEY gots the Time-And the Motor... Grainger's book is made out of Bible thin paper, McMaster-Carr's is a lot better to touch, feel, & use, to me..
