Dew shield and Hair dryer

I have a new 11 inch SCT (CPC) and have been troubled with heavy dewing. Could anyone suggest suitable material (and where to buy) for making a 'flexible' dew shield for an 11 inch SCT? I have phoned/visited quite a few craft/art/hardware stores but apart from cartrigge paper they could not help. Some stores do have suitably thick plastic sheets but not in the size I require (at least 100 cm wide).

Also, to help with my dew problem I have just purchased a 12 volt hair dryer for $20 but there are not specification regarding the current it draws. I assume that since the dryer operates from a car cigarette lighter it would raw at least 5 amps (is that right ?). However, I want to purchase an elctrical power source (from 240 to 12V) but am not sure what amperage I need (I don't want to end up overheating the power source). I have a feeling that the power source will be a lot more expensive than the hair dryer. I would welcome any advice.

Many thanks

David
