For those looking for wider Buna Rubber sheets, Allstate Gasket in PA has 48"W rubber sold by the foot. We went with 1/16" thickness. Good elongation, but not as stretchy or thin as the Douthitt blankets. But it does work really well. http://www.allstategasket.com/info_gasket_material_style-1190.asp
The larger widths are harder to find, but they are out there.
If anyone has a good source for sponge beading to seal the frame to the glass, I'd love to know where you snagged that from. We reused the old seal as I couldn't easily source anything that looked to be comparable.

Actually, Buna rubber may not be the best material for this. I may have jumped the gun before having all of the information. Apparently Buna N is damaged by UV light and I missed that information when I ordered it. Its already installed, so we will see how long it holds up. Will update when and if it deteriorates from the UV.

I just got some neoprene from a fabric store for my M&R Mega-Light. Seems to be working well so far, but is definitely thinner than the original blanket. I think it was $60 for two blankets.
Sounds like pond liner and other materials just aren't worth it. Gotta find a nice thicker neoprene, and seems like fabric stores are the best bet.
