Loren, if you are in the Seattle area, there has to be a marine store that
has something similar to what you were looking for. That sounds an awful lot
like something that may be used in a marine application (pleasure or
industrial engine room). I'd go to Ballard, check out some of the
shipyards/fisherman supply stores down there. Just a thought. Good luck w/
your future Sorbothane buying!
