I used various materials, sometimes high impact white polystyrene (if I
remember the name correctly) because it was easy to cut (score & break)
and easy to clean; sometimes I cut strips from heavy clear plastic and
coated one side with something Kremer sticky (diluted), so 4 strips in
whatever configuration could be "glued" in place & then peeled off, stuck
to the side of the table, then reused, in whatever dimensions; but my
favorite was an actual "mat" cut through a piece of corrugated cardboard
(cut from the cartons that line NYC streets especially on paper pickup
days), because it was simultaneously absorbent (didn't let much of
anything go under) and a positive stop.
These had to be the precise size, & no two seemed alike, so I probably had
50 or so on hooks all around the room -- finally I was about crowded out
trashed most of them.
