Stewmac, Lmii not have it. I need b/w 10/10, and b/w/b 10/10/10, 65” long. Not the tall stuff. Anybody have some or know where I can get? Mike

I think it’s 0.06” tall

If you can't find it you can easily cut the taller stuff down on the bandsaw.

I was told that COVID restrictions caused the apparently only company arround to go under. Was probably the same company both StewMac and LMII used.

I got to looking arround, I can find no info on how the process is done. I found a leather belt strip cutter (rotary) that can go to 1/8" but that is 2 times as tall as is needed.

I really am interested in how this is done.

Gurian does wood Martin get it in sheets and slits their own they started selling out of gmc but it is hard to get anyone there
I have some but it is hard to come by so understand you will have to make changes to your designs as to what is available.
