    You may want to check with your local "stamping" type shops, that's
    where I found these. They weren't huge, generally 2/3 inches or so.

    try looking for mica at enameling supply companies www.enameling.com
    and Enamelwork supply company Coral Schaffer ewsco AT comcast.net they
    both have thin sheets of mica and thicker sheets too.

    I found the following source of Mica,
    http://www.antiquestoves.com/gs/stoveparts/mica1.aspthat > it is
    used for antique wood / coal / fuel oil stoves and furnaces. This was
    just the first or so when I looked up "wood stove parts". These seem
    a gray tone, but as I recall when I used to sell alternative energy
    appliances that there were 3-4 colors at some wholesalers? Seems like
    one 'old timey' name for the mica was "isenglass"?? (sp,??), or
    "iessin glause" (sp,??), 

    Good Luck, Ed

    I get my mica sheets from Thompson Enamel. You might try enamel
    suppliers.

    Around here (Montana) mica sheets are sold in wood stove stores as
    replacements for older style stoves. That might be a place to start.
