North America Cork sheet or similar for large drawer liners.

I am not fully set up with the map case yet, But, it is in place and starting to add tools to it. One thing I did notice, with the liner @JustaDB gave me, it is fairly thick. I may have to take the Starret level out of the original box for it to fit.
So think about liner thickness when buying product. I try to reasonly fit as many tools as possible in a drawer.
I have seen massive snap on boxes with only one tool in each drawer, thought perhaps ran out of money, none for tools. LOL.
I don’t like taps, files, cutting tools with edges rubbing on each other, hey, just me! But only one to a drawer, ha,ha. NOT!

I bought this Gorilla grip for my drawer bottoms off Amazon (on sale now) & quite happy with it. It has just enough stiction to stay in position & things don't shuffle around opening & closing drawers. You can also cut to size pretty accurately just following the grid. It probably is not intended for mechanic boxes or equipment that sees tougher service, oil, chips etc. I used some scraps of mechanic toolbox liners around my lathe on the tailstock but it is soft enough that swarf gets embedded. A solid sheet rubber or neoprene would be better IMO.
