I saw a "how-to" over on IRV2 and it looked like a good idea. It's cheap at less than $50 for the mat. Provides enough rectangles for plenty of lift when needed, and is pretty much indestructible. The only downside is that it is pretty heavy.
They should work great, once I get them cut up...

Randy - you will find the mat easy to cut with a sharp box knife or something similar. Mark lines where you want to cut. Bend the mat (roll it) to see a line to cut. No need to "saw" through it. Cut into the mat. It will start to seperate. Go back to the beginning and complete the cut. Takes more finesse than strength!
Good luck!
