I know I've seen catalogs w/ 1/16" or so 1/2"W and variations on the theme for such things as mounting on old drawer slides to compensate for wear and provide a new gliding surface but now that I am really, really, looking I can't seem to find one handy...
Anybody have a convenient source? I thought it was Klingspor or one of them, but unless I'm not looking for right thing I've struck mostly out except for 2-3 mil 3M tapes that aren't what was looking for...

My records say I got it from Amazon, but I found it here: $7.99 for 3/4"x1/32"x10.5'
Both UMHW and Teflon tapes are absolutely marvelous.

Sit down before you look at the prices on the thick stuff though.
Not bad overall; they're 50-ft 1" min width rolls for 1/32" or 1/16" thicknesses so are quite a lot of material for the price. (And which is far more than I need at the moment.)
I may just bite the bullet unless can find a retailer; Woodcraft has
3/4" W rolls but only of the 1/32" thickness; I was hoping for the 1/16".Anyway, thanks, I'll manage something...

a bit better, total cost wise.... esp if you jump down to 1/2" width

Well, necessity and invention and all that rot... :)
Nothing local in the UHMW-venue so started on a foraging expedition looking for suitable candidates for modification. Found inexpensive plastic trowel of suitable thickness and several widths between reinforcing ridges.
A few passes over the tablesaw to cut 3/8" wide strips and some double-sided tape and voila! the front of the dining room buffet drawer no longer drags the tops of the doors below and has almost perfectly even gaps at top/bottom again...
Total investment--$1.99 not counting the trip to/from town (which had to make anyway for mail, etc.) as had the roll of tape on hand.
