Need help finding/choosing plastic film

(OP)
Is there a type of plastic that has a certain amount of "stretch" to it, like elastic. I am in need of some plastic sheets, about the same thickness of a shower curtain liner, that stretches (has elastic properties). I am out of my realm when it comes to plastics so any input will be appreciated.

RE: Need help finding/choosing plastic film

The answer depends on many things but try silicone. You can buy silicone baking sheets from Amazon to try.

Thanks for your input. Your advice has led me to several websites that sell thin, translucent silicone sheets. I will try this. I assume that this is a stretchable material correct?
