North America Cork sheet or similar for large drawer liners.

[JustaDB]

Recently picked up a 5 drawer map cabinet. Drawer ID's are 25"x37-1/4". Looking to line them for toolbox use. Trying to find something that'll work that won't cost me $75 or more a drawer. Cork sheet, rubber sheet, good tool box liner, whatever. Prefer single sheets, rather than piecing something together.

Cork sheet from Amazon is expensive. Couldn't find anything big enough on AliEx, nothing at Harbor Freight. Snap-On lists some 1/16" foam that's reasonable but I'm wondering if I can find something just a bit more...substantial? My experience w/ cheap drawer foam is that it shifts/folds every time the drawer is opened/closed.

Suggestions/sources?

TIA.

carpet underlay?

rubber mat material from PA - they cut it to length. I have some but it has a strong smell - which does diminish with time.

Maybe? I've tried different alternatives for drawer liner - nothing seems too great besides drawer liner. I'd be interested in a good answer too.

If you shop around the building supply or flooring stores there's probably better prices out there

Where are you located? In Vancouver, I go to Vanco or Custom Gaskets and just buy 1/8” neoprene sheet gasketing. You want something fairly soft, 50 durometer or lower. Don’t use EPDM, oil causes EPDM to crack. They also sell cork gasketing on rolls.

Super cheap is to buy the interlocking foam floor tiles for kids rooms. I use this for the cargo area in my car, problem is they’re 1/2” thick so might be a bit much for a tool box.

I've used this. It's ok if you spray glue it in place.

Kitchen drawer liners some are made of a silicone material

Snap-On lists some 1/16" foam that's reasonable

It's pretty rigid and doesn't fold up or kink when you shut drawers. For what it is, it works decent. I would like something a bit better but I've never had to replace any snap on drawer liners either. And some of my drawers have a bunch of weight in them

I bought several rolls of this and really like it. Sadly looks unavailable.

A rubberized flooring underlay might be your best and cheapest per sq/ft source. I have used rubberized runner underlay before, but it came in 24" rolls. Not sure if it's available in wider ones, but probably is. I'd call or visit some flooring places. The 25"width requirement might exclude a number of readily available materials and sources.

I'm dubious about really thin drawer liners. The ones I've tried slip and ball up into the back of the shelf. My next iteration of attempts will be: 7mm -ish foam floor interlocking matting. These will need some cutouts, however, so I have a *lot* of other things to do right now. Maybe winter.
