I'm in need and figured it would be cheaper to cut my own out of sheets or rolls. Any body know of a good source?

That seems like it would be too thick. This stuff is like 1/16" thick.

May be gasket material, but that would be pricey, I would think. Conveyor belting comes in all thicknesses. I actually think I have some thin stuff, from a paper box folding company, real thin stuff.

Some outfit in your area might specialise in rubber products, like one I know of in my town. They have big rolls that they will cut to specs.

Grainger is a good outfit. Just going through their catalog will keep you awake late for many nights.

Hay Baler belting is great. Any farm equipment junk yard would have miles of it laying around.

Go down to NAPA and get some of those repurposed rubber backed rugs. They run about 12-15.00 per.
