Well, this is not what you might want to hear but I recommend that you bite the bullet and buy the real thing. I had to replace most of the treadmaster on my boat as it was 25yrs. old and starting to break up. I bought a cheaper look alike from a boat jumble 4yrs. ago and I think it will need replacing again next year it is so badly worn, so false economy big time. It is such a job getting the old off that I am tempted to sell the boat and buy another.

Marinemegastore are the cheapest that I've found at £41.27 per sheet. Free delivery (for 2+ sheets) and you can take 10% off that if it's your first order with them.

To remove the old stuff I use a really sharp wood chisel held almost flat to cut away most of the cork, then flatten down the residue and epoxy adhesive with a Garrison flap disc in an angle grinder. Really easy and quick but makes hell of a mess..

Is this the same place you purchased yours from ?

Yes, I think that is the same product. The sheets were about £18-00 each and I bought 10 of which I used 7. The other problem I had was the size of the new sheets, and everyone seems to do the same standard size, the originals were very slightly longer so the new ones don't have quite the same footprint.
