What kinds of places would use Mylar patternmaking material where I might
obtain some scrap (I only need ~4" square)?

Sailmakers will definitely have some, possibly canvas shops. You can
usually buy individual sheets at art supply stores. It's also
possible that you could use a small piece of Strataglass or something
similar. Canvas shops will definitely have that.
Hi, Wayne, and thanks for that.
Strataglass I can come by, and it's possible that my canvas shop has some
mylar, if that's common - but I'd inferred from what you'd said that it
would be harder/stiffer than that. From our windows, it seems to me that it
would not make a very straight (straighter than saran wrap, of course!)
surface, as flexible as it is, and what I see canvas folks using for
patternmaking is VERY floppy, not very heavy stuff..
Inferred is that the stuff you're talking about is pretty flexible?
I would suggest looking for a piece of the material they use for laser
printing transparancies. IIRC, it's mylar or something similar and
reasonably available and pretty cheap.
