My partner just bought a 20 ton press from Harbor Freight. We intend to use it for a clicker and to mold holsters. What type of rubber should I get and where is the best usual supplier? Our projected size is 1' x 1' x 1" thick. If anybody has a part number, it would help.

I'm also hunting for a 1' x 1' x 1" cutting pad for clicker dies.

I bought knife rubber but I find it's too soft, tears and will leave marks behind in the rubber which will affect any other molding.

It likely works good on thin items like knives but I've had problems with larger items.

This is the actual one I purchased, it was from MSC Industrial and not Mcmaster.

It's 24 inches long and I cut it in half.
