Go westy has Fat mat sheets 5 ft x 18 inches   for  $ 21.95 each  

is this a good price or can it be had for less  

and how many 5 ft x 18 inch sheets would be needed to do a rather good job including the floor, all doors , side panels  , fire wall

I also took the precaution of taping all the seams with metal foil tape (not duct tape) to keep the gooey stuff away from surfaces I did not want gooed.
