Kraft paper is actually a type of paper that has no impurities, like metals and chemicals. It is used as an insulating medium in things like high voltage capacitors and was used in high voltage primary underground cable, up to 35KV, as in PILC cable. (Paper Insulated Lead Cable)

You can buy it at art supply stores or as Serge mentioned, just ask your butcher for some wrapping paper. It is pretty pure stuff also, just avaoid the stuff that has a shiny side. I think they call it freezer paper.Joe Beaver38844.5238078704

Here is a link to puchase Kraft paper. I like this as it is easier to store than a roll and is cut to the right size for wrapping sides for bending.
