Anyone know where I can get the material used for the bottom of the heat press to put onto a new platen?

I can use 3mm silicone sheet but thought I'd ask if anyone knew where to get the proper material first :-)

Gone for the cg option. Spoke to Adkins but theirs are around £60, self adhesive backing. I might just leave it loose otherwise I'll find something that will withstand high temps :-)

Doesn't have to be no :-). Although the challenge to get it to stick is on now!
