OT question, plastic films that stick without adhesive

My tire guy gives me a little sticker to put in the upper corner of my windshield to remind me when it's time to rotate tires. That is the material I want. I'd guess it's about 6-7 mils thick. Jon |

I can print up a sheet with different designs and when I find one I really like, print up a mess of them. I'm assuming at some point the static cling effect will go away. I actually put thin strips of tape right on the screen, which worked great in game, but kinda sucked when post processing photographs... G Jon |

Jon Fabric stores have vinyl by the yard. I've been using that for PDA screen protectors. The thinnest stuff is a little thicker than I'd like, but it works ok for the touch screen. |
