For th contests that I have CD'ed I have purchased 2" streamers from a party shop and slip the rolls in half with a very fine blade on my band saw, that gives me two rolls approx. 1" wide I then cut the rolls up into the sreamers. I use a rip fence on each side of the paper roll the same hieght as the roll dia. so the cut can be made fairly straight. Our group of flyers have used these stramers for 5 contests now with no problems.
