Electrical matting small sizes?

[Z]

Where might I get small section of electrical matting? Just need a bit
for workbench sized for footprint of television, microwave oven or
similar and another bit I can shove in the back of the van for
occasional live work on domestic consumer units.
I saw a bit in a bin the other week but didn't whip it.
Using a car mat just now for live testing but it's not suitable for the
bench as not flat enough.

Try looking up a commercial rubber supplier in your area.
They sell sheet rubber in all types.
I find the neoprene the best. Just like what dive suits and mousepads
are made of.

I'll try them though I presumed they sold it by the reel.

That's an idea! Glue some mousemats onto a backboard

Isn't neoprene a bit prone to catching and mechanical damage?

Real neoprene is thick black rubber. Wet suits and mouse pads are
more of a neoprene based foam rubber.
