Default Source for Chartpac tape for panel lines

Hi,

I'm looking for a source for chartpac tape to use for creating panel lines, preferably a Canadian source, but any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've also tried looking for this up here without success. Thinnest I've found is 3m fine line tape. But it's only 1/16" wide instead of the 1/64 we need.

Still looking too.

Came across a trade name used by draftsmen: Letraline. smallest I found was .4mm (point 4 mm). Have no idea how that compares in inches though.

1/64" is .015" and 4 mm is a smidgen over 1/8" (.125"). Hmm.

This site was posted a while back. Lots of sizes and looks like pretty good pricing; http://www.suppliesnet.com/Graphic-Tapes-Gloss.htm#

Tower hobbies carries similar tape. It is Kyosho micron line tape. It comes in .4 and .7 mm widths. I just picked some up but haven't used any yet.

I did Google searches and came up empty. Tower Hobbies: same thing. If they have the Kyosho stuff, as mentioned earlier, it doesn't come up as 'drafting tape' or 'masking tape'. Also searched local crafts stores and hobby shops with no luck.
Finally found some 1/64" wide (narrow?) long rolls at a local art supply store.
