Actually the stuff I want to use is a ribbed vinyl mat runner they sell by the linear foot a Lowes.

>>Heat from above:
>>Reptile carpet (or outdoor carpet make from recycled polyethylene bottles)
>>Polypropylene sign material (corrugated plastic "cardboard" material)
>>Sheet vinyl
>>Sintra (closed cell PVC, can find online. The 3mm thickness can be cut to size with a straight-edge and a ultiliy knife)
>>FRP
>>I forgot, but it comes in a 4ftx8ft, white flexible plastic near the FRP stuff
