I could use a sheet for a big cutting board.
what are the rough dimensions you are making this? If it gets too big, make sure to put a cross brace or two in the middle and it should be fine.

the bottom of the skid for the gas tank would be roughly 36"x15", but the pieces of this material I have are only 29"x10". At this point I think I may go with my original plan of building the skid plate out of 3/16-1/4" material, then skinning the bottom of it with a couple of strips of the PTFE
how much of this will you be able to get

I finally grabbed this stuff tonight after giving it a few days just to make sure they didn't change their mind and decide to use the stuff. I have 4 pieces, all about 10" wide by about 28-30" long and 3/8" thick. I'm really surprised at how heavy this stuff is. I think those four pieces weigh nearly 40 lbs. Its been covered with anti seize and oil, so its not much good for cutting boards which is what everyone else was eying it for. It will clean up, but not enough that I would ever want to put food on it. It does seem to bend a little easier than my UHMW cutting board, but it still seems pretty solid. I tried cutting it with a knife and the damage was comparable to what the knife did to the cutting board. Since its free I'm going to give it a try.
now your major expense will be hardware to fasten it to the skidplate. what's your thoughts on this?

Elmer's.
No, if this skid plate follows the rest of the truck he is going to want something he can unbolt in the next month and completely change. Elmers would be too permanent....

countersunk screws. Its allready has 5/16" countersunk holes about every 4.5" on the perimeter of the sheet
I figured, would be counter productive to have bolt heads sticking out. We used to use something similar on the bottom of one of our hay cutters that would drag the ground. It is good stuff, the granite at katemcy (165.5lbs/cub.ft. BTW) may be a little harsher than a coastal patch.

Chances are you'll never touch the bolt heads on the side. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just put 4 - 5 on each side so you'll have one to give. And don't make them inside the frame, where they'll be hard to get out.
1/4" steel makes a good splate.
