Do not want fiber threads in the rubber sheeting! Not sure of the thickness, but you all know what I'm talking about. Thanks

Otherwise look up rubber suppliers in the Thomas Guides (online or at your library). Also, industrial supply companies often sell rubber matts for non slip flooring surfaces and counter tops, check with them to get proper thickness.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

After a certain number of impressions are run, they are replaced and not re-used. I have several blankets from the printing company that I worked at, but I have not figured out what I am going to do with them yet. If I knew how big a piece you needed, I could cut one up and mail it to you. 1986 Dodge Ramcharger 440 2wd, Bracket Racer Under Construction 1998 Ram 2500 QuadCab, new daily driver. 2008 Honda Element 2014 Carry-On 7x14 Cargo Trailer

They sell rubber in sheets / rolls as gasket material between large pipe flanges. Might be able to get what you need there.

I'm thinking a single stamp would get to me OK. I can PM my address if OK with you (wish I could send you some bucks somehow for your trouble).
