Yup, made by the AU company Global Spill Control.
I can't seem to find any suppliers either. 3M makes a product that is somewhat similar. A 50' roll of folded material that is 5" wide folded but unfolds to 18". It is perforated every 16" designed so it can be ripped off much like TP. So each section give you a 18x16" pad. Looks like it would be a convenient way to carry a bunch of absorbent pads that could also double as a boom.

That's what I saw Dave. Not sure if it was 3M though. Very easy storage. I now have a line on it locally and will drop into the local chandler today.

Yeah, I linked the listing at fisheries. I imagine that Clyde is right and Williams Oil probably carries them. With my limited time, I don't like running down to the Tacoma tide flats if I don't have to.
I have a nephew that works for 3M. When he comes to visit he brings lots of 3M swag that employees get to pick through. I wonder if he could snag a box for me?

Preferably a box with something in it, eh?

$53 at Amazon. No running needed:
I like the idea, wish I hadn't just bought a box of the flat ones!

Pretty well any industrial supply house sells them in bulk for about $0.50 each. In either country.
Stay away from Fastenal though they're the WM of industry.

That's why I read this forum. I see I need to stock that.

Way back in the old days, when I was but a wee, teenage lad working as a mate on a fishing boat out of Carolina Beach, the Cap't used Kotex under his old DD-671's as oil pads. As I recall, they worked pretty well.

Vancouver Boat show. I bought 2 large packs of "pigs" for $20. I'm pretty sure it was from "Industrial Plastics and Paint." I get a bunch every year. Unfortunately, the cat got into them and tore them up a bit.
