Teabag paper is similar, to my understanding, to Silkspan although I never have used Silkspan as I, like you, could not find this on-line. I therefore cannot compare. The teabag paper worked for me and I used the same technique for making the sails as described by others who used Silkspan on this forum, by painting the paper with an acrylic paint. Quick and easy and cost effective. The Teabag paper is available on-line and I this bought here: https://www.vycombe-arts.co.uk/onlineshop/prod_3687465-Tea-Bag-Paper-26-x-200cms-UnPerforated.html
