>Do any of you know of a source for fabric covered rubber that computer mouse pads are commonly made from?

I only need a piece about 3'x3'. My son plays these oriental card games (Yu-Gi-Oh, etc), and he wants to silk screen his own personalized mat.

>I think you're looking for neoprene. I don't have a source myself, but that should give you a better google term or something to ask for locally.

I found http://www.foamorder.com/neoprene.html through Google. The sell 1/2 sheets which should be enough for your mat. Good luck!

>Thanks, Ron. Yeah I did that search earlier and found the perfect material - I just had to buy a roll 1 meter wide, and 20 meters long.
