In need of neoprene

[MerAnthony]

During this past weekend at Merfest my black neoprene tail broke.( but thats ok ) So I said no big deal, I was planning to make another tail anyway. Ok here is my question, where can I find 1.5 or 2 mm neoprene at a reasonable price. I only need about 2 yards. So if anybody can point me in a direction on where to find what I am looking for I would be very greatful.

You can search on Ebay for neoprene sheets that's how I found my neoprene for my tails
here is one, if you want black, that is http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEOPRENE-RUBBER-SHEET-1-MM-THICK-170mm-x-350-mm-colors-black-1-sheets-/350941596113?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b5bfc9d1 though I think this one is without lining.

This one has different colors and is with nylon lining: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEOPRENE-RUBBER-SHEET-1-MM-THICK-170mm-x-350-mm-colors-black-1-sheets-/350941596113?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b5bfc9d1

Good luck :)

I don't think that one will work. It doesn't even say if it has backing on eather side. Plus no color option. My old tail was black so I think I might get a different color.

I think 3 yards for like 75 bucks. It was a few years ago.

There's a list of reputable neoprene sellers on the Materials and Supplies Guide page (http://mernetwork.com/index/content.php?139-Materials-and-Supplies)

Ok I have made up my mind on who I am going to buy from but what would be the perfered thickness of the neoprene? I made a tail a while back an the neoprene was a bit on the thick side, An I have no idea on how thick it was. Now I when I was at Merfest I was looking at Mermaid Victoria Osborns amethyst tail she had there an I loved the thickness of that. An would love the tail I am making to be that thick. What was the thickness of her tail?

You should look at her YouTube channel in we playlist of that tail, there are some dry videos I think that talk about the tail.

I went to a place (online actually) called Fabricstore.com and i got 5 feet wide by 7 feet long 2 mm black neoprene for about 60 bucks with a coupon.
