If you can find anyone in the roofing business that does flat roofs with rubber roofing , see if they have any scraps . Stuff comes in different thickness . Bigger home improvement stores sell it in rolls , I think 10' x 20' . I know , way more than you need . Maybe make up a bunch of liners and sell them .

A truck intertube is probably EPDM. Lortone cap cover seems to be EPDM. Truck stops/tire repair may still have tubes. Tubes are used on tractors. Roofers use a lot of EPDM.

And how many could be cut from a 10x20 foot roll , homemade disc cutter in a hydraulic press . Think there is someone on here who could probably do that .

I have had great luck with truck tire inner tubes. The local tire store just pulled some ruined ones out of a pile and gave them to me free. You can lay them out and find the flattest spot to cut out the liner. There will everywhere be some curvature, but it isn't a problem for the small area of a lit

Lowes sells grey rubber sheeting by the foot. The same area the PVC is sold. It worked for me, about .125 thk. Not bad.
