Welcome.
People with low post counts are unable to access the PM function automatically, due to some recently added anti-spam protections.
However, you might want to note that this is a ten year old thread, which has been awakened from the dead!

I appreciate your knowing an outlet, but I would literally rather buy a metal roller to squish material out, maticulously measure 0.2mm of a gap in said roller, and buy nylon or polyester fabric to rubberize and put through the roller to make curtains from scratch, than pay $750 for one curtain.

I found an outlet on eBay that sells a bolt long enough to use for 4x5 SLRs for $88 shipped.

You can refurbish the original cloth if it's not torn. Remove the shutter, soak the cloth in a jar of lacquer thinner to remove the rubberized coating, and then when you are down to the bare fabric with no rubberized coating, paint it with a few thin layers of flat black artists acrylic paint. then reassemble.
