: Lots of things can be used for a flexible batten for drafting,
: including the acrylic ones sold just for that purpose. Easiest
: to find is likely a fairly thin steel rod, most hardware stores
: have them, no idea what they are used for, but they have enough
: spring to bend around a fairly tight radius and then return to
: the staight shape afterwards. Walk around the building supply
: store/hardware store and see what flexes and how much, the
: others in the store might think it's strange though ;)
