No, i fear too that silicone in homeopathic doses will not do any good.
When i scrape it so thin that the surface becomes dull (paper fibers  
sticking through) it doesn't seem to transfer well, for some reason.

I'm not really sure that searching for commercial paper is the way to go,  
as you are probably rather limited to one type of silicone and one  
thickness. (Granted, it will at least be repeatable). But if you find  
something i'm very curious to hear of it.
