For anyone who likes to make their own rags in the Portland area, I noticed that Fisherman's Marine in Delta Park was selling 3/8-inch white backer rod. They packaged it in 6 six-inch strips for $1.99. That works out to about 66 cents a foot. Look for it in the aisle with the corkies. I didn't get out to the Oregon City store but they should have some also.
