    Randy at Dixie Restorations replied to me a while back about them:

    They are made from the same material, same thickness. but have no markings on them. I am out of stock at the moment, so I don't have one to take a pic of. If you're still interested, let me know and I'll send you a pic when I get some more in.

    Thanks,
    Randy

    I've heard that they are nothing more than heavy roofing felt.  You can layer a few pieces together if you need to.

     Roofing felt works well as it contains oils to resist rust. I wouldn't go with an abrasive (sand) impregnated paper though.

     As a consideration, a $5 Walmart showermat also fits the bill.  :2cents:
