I need to replace the mica sheet in the nozzle of an industrial heat gun. The sheet is wrapped around the element.

The old sheet size is 185mm x 165mm x 0.1mm thick.

Anyone know where to buy this stuff in Oz. I can get it from China but would prefer to avoid the weeks of shipping delay.

Note: I'm not seeking to buy a big sheet of it and cut it down as that's too expensive.

The last sheet of mica I bought was from a place that sold spare parts for heaters and was to replace the inserts in to door of an old Kosi heater. That was years ago and I don't remember it being very flexible.
