I've had good experiences with junksupply in the past. Mirsad, the owner, is usually very responsive, but I assume his shop is a one man show, so it might take him a little longer to reply at times (or your mails are going to his spam folder).

Alternatively, you can always order a full container from china

There is indeed some sort of fleece fabric that can be used to improve bonding (we were donated some remnants of this stuff), however I don't have any Information on the manufacturer or the type of material. It is a very thin white non-woven mat, so I guess it could be both fiberglass (most likely c...

For bending edges I prefer to use the modified tile nippers. You can buy them here (or just make your own with tile nippers from the hardware store): https://www.skibaumarkt.de/produkt/kantenbiegezange/
