Trainee laminator in need of PTFE dibbers

I'm 3 months into my training as a laminator and I'm slowly acquiring the tools I need.

I have most of the tools that I'm able to buy - scalpels, snap blades, rulers etc.

I have just made myself a carbon fibre dibber for bagging, but I really need a PTFE dibber for the laying up process. However, the company I work for doesn't really use PTFE, so I'm struggling to get my hands on one.

If anyone has any spare that they can give me I would be so grateful!

Cheers
Steve

got a few dinners in the draws
"main" tool (the wide one) is from 6mm ptfe sheet band sawed to shape, sanded an polished
The smaller one, 10mm ptfe sheet same prep
My tufnel ones are mostly very specific for things like suspension etc. 
Lot harder to work but you get some good results
Just be aware there are diffrent types of tufnel
Glass an canvas based
You want canvas
