    not sure what the correct name for these are but I use them to put down underneath my coil racks. I got 3 of them over 2 years ago when pulling from a coil company and would like to buy some more now I don't pull out from there any more. Any ideals they are 4 by 4.

    A small crusher plant or gravel pit usually has old belt laying around. The center might be worn out and chunked the outside edges are usually good. Probably let you have as much as you need for some beer.

    Multiple passes with a utility knife along a straight edge will make a clean cut.

    They are called hog panels. You can get them at tractor supply or another farm supply place.

    He's not talking about a wire panel. Pig mats are the name for a oil absorbing piece of material you can buy. Google it. I would put up a link but don't know how.

    Pigmat stuff is awsome , but not cheap...

    Some of the bigger chain parts store can get it as well . Like NAPA, and I think Carquest too.
