Is there anywhere locally (SA or San Marcos) that has this stuff? Can I just walk into a home depot and have them cut this or..?

I need some to cover the bottom of my 10 gallon tank.

Thanks! When sizing how much I need should I got exactly the same dimensions as the footprint or a bit smaller so that it fits in nicely?

i would make it a little smaller, but if it doesnt fit, you can always cut it down a bit with a table saw

For the size you need, they sell this stuff at HEB as a cutting board. You'll have to cut it to size.

Yep. High Density Polyester. About 1/2 inch thick. Same thing for those thin flexible ones in different colors.
