==================================>
I know that Micarta is available here in the Houston area as it is
sometimes used as an insulating material for the isolation of bolts to
prevent galvanic action in salt water submergence.

As to supplier names, I can't help, but a question to bolt suppliers
might reveal the name of their vendor for the material.
