big sheets of 'skrim'?

[LindaLancaster]

I'm trying to find a supplier of big sheets, or wide rolls of 'skrim' (or something that would do the same job) to cover a damaged lath and plaster wall before it is skimmed. I'm aware that this is a bit of a bodge, but the alternative is too awful to contemplate at the moment!! I'm told this stuff can be bought in Poland - anyone know of anyone selling it here?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Prod, that looks like exactly what he described, I'll ring them first thing tomorrow and ask them if they'll supply us!
Xposis, I haven't ruled out asking my mate to get some sent over - we'll only need about 10m - but it just seemed a bit daft....
Noseall, our plan B was to overboard (plan a being to rip it all off and do it properly) but the plaster is really very crumbly and the laths are all broken inside, it was only being held together by the wallpaper. My mate reckoned it was better to leave well alone to keep the mess level to a minimum!

Thanks again for all your input, great here isn't it!
