Never found any around where I live (Europe).

At the local DiY store I found some transparent plastic,
stored rolled so it has natural tendency to conform to a sec cage.
In reality I do not know what it is for "in reality" <VBG>.
Works well on my 10" and 20" scopes.
Relatively strong, less then 1 mm thick. Only problem:
transparent. A few black paint solved it :-) Voila!
The paint has not delaminated yet (at least 2 years).
If it does I will just attempt replacing the paint layer, or the whole
baffle.
