I've heard that Raal uses heat shrink mylar at the ends of their ribbons for suspension.
I was wondering if anyone knew where to source such a thing?
I haven't been able to find it or maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing.
Thanks 🙂

Mylar type C is heat shrinking. 3, 6 or 12 µm can be found. Do Raal attach a piece of it to the ends or is it the same Mylar for the whole ribbon?
Thank you 🙂
I've heard that they use it at the ends of the ribbon to function as suspension so they don't need to use corrugation.
Now to decide the thickness required. I'm assuming the suspension is going to need to be thicker than the ribbon itself, perhaps.

Do you have any idea how to find the video? I searched for it for about an hour and haven't come up with anything useful.
I don't know if this is the one he was referring to, but this video shows replacement of a Raal ribbon and heat shrinking it.

Unfortunately that video is fairly useless for the purpose of figuring out the mechanism in question. The dude is just blow drying the ribbon itself from a bad angle. It mentions heat shrink pads but that's not enough to decipher.
