    Best Gasket

    I have looked for EPDM pond liner but it is 40mil at the most. What is the best place to fine a small sheet of 1/16" EDPM. Do you have to order weld on or is it available retail?

    Just a few places - ebay, amazon, mcmaster carr, rubbercal.com, etc

    Amazon and ebay have weldon at fairly decent prices. I haven't found it locally.

    Lowes even sells some plumbers rubber gasket/gromet material in the plumbing section. They're small square pieces, about 5x5 I think. They come in 1/16th ($.93) and 1/8th ($1.38). Not as cheap as just ordering a roll off the internet though.

    I've ordered from this seller before. http://stores.ebay.com/RuBBeR-HoUsE-wAsHeRs-AnD-rUbS

    Got exactly what I wanted and they carry all kinds of material.

    You might want to check this company out that could be close to you for EPDM.

    and for Weld-on do a yellow page or Google search for acrylic sheet in your area.

    -Or you could just use double gaskets of the .040" EPDM pond liner knowing that it's going to compress down to .06something over time...
