yep, a search for Mylar tape is pretty much a losing deal.  Popped a few 
hits for people looking for 1"  The link given for a source back in 2004 
era ended up redirected to a real estate firm.

I might have some 1" in the garage, but it might be already punched.  If 
not, I suspect one could build a low tech slitter based on a razor blade 
and hand crank.
