So if that's true, fatmat is $149.99 for a roll of 100 sq ft and comes sticky backed with tools to install it. I am not sure if the U.seal makes it easier being in small strips or not. Still trying to determine what route I take but your crew is looking good!

Math doesn't lie my friend. It probably does make sense to just buy the proper stuff from fatmat for that nominal price difference. I suppose there are advantages of the thin strips in some areas, but some scissors can make a wide strip into a thin strip pretty easily. The U-Seal is adhesive backed, but does not stick well when it is cold. When I hit it with the heat gun it stuck nice and tight. I didn't bother getting a fire going in the shop so it was only about 40 degrees and it did not want to stick well at all.
