Mike,
Glad things worked out for you, $10 is a great price.
I realized (too late now, maybe) that you can get
small quantities of teflon sheet in many thicknesses
(and a lot of other stuff) at Small Parts Inc.:
www.smallparts.com
The catalog is not online, and I'm not near mine now,
so I cannot say what the part# and cost is. I'll post
this info if I can find my catalog tonight.
