High friction material

Any suggestions for where to get thin material like Lee Valley uses for
its High-Friction Disks in larger pieces.

http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.asp?page=41763&category=1,42363,42346&ccurrency=2&SID=

I'm looking for pieces on the order of 4" x 2" to use in conjunction
with some jigs I've made. Using an array of circles is an option, but
not a first choice.

The ideal material will be thin (<=1/32"), have a high coefficient of
static friction, and either have an adhesive backing or be made from a
material that can be glued without resorting to heroic measures.

Thanks, but as always I couldn't order just one item. You folks are
addictive.

How about cutting up a 5" diameter PSA sanding disk?
You pick the grit. 100 grit has a pretty high coefficient of friction. YMMV

Somewhere around 60 to 100 is what is used to simulate an average road
surface for tire testing.
