Celestron C90 primary baffle flocking

Hi
For people in Australia, any ideas where I can get velvet covered paper or thin card?
I need to roll a tube of diameter 16mm x113mm to slide into the primary baffle of the C90 to reduce internal reflections (as mentioned all over the internet)
Protostar flocking that I have used is too stiff and thick.
I am not so keen on inserting self adhesive velvet like you can find at Spotlight. No way to glue it in. Basically the material has to maintain its own shape (spring open) and be as thin as possible.

Also, what would you guys use to make a dew shield? I would need a piece of something fairly stiff, preferably black, and 40x40cm to trim to size. Maybe 6mm black EVA foam from somewhere.

Thanks
