My favourite source for plastics (and fibreglass cloth and resins) is Plastic World (http://plasticworld.ca/ (http://plasticworld.ca/)) on Sheppard Avenue just west of Dufferin. Not sure if they have Mylar.

Plastic World is a great place and they do have Mylar and exotic plastics. I get my fibreglass cloth there and parts for my daughter's projects (styrene). Angel veil fibreglass cloth is only something like $3.95 a meter (thin random direction long strand glass cloth. You can read a paper through it). I use it to reinforce balsa and do repairs.

They are very helpful with advice as well.
