I get mine from Home Hardware, one of the most common hardware/lumber
supply shops in Canada. I'll stop by and ask them who supplies them. In the
mean time, if you simply ask your local lumber yard for flexible plywood
they may have something. If a chain as big as Home Hardware carries it, it
must be fairly common. I can imagine carpenters and cabinet makers find it
handy too!
