Looking for something to put on the kitchen table to protect it while working. Not metal or wood. Some sort of plastic something I guess? Or a large rubber cutting mat? I have no idea - any suggestions?
Old car floor mat ?

Putting together an amp chassis, doing soldering, building miniature models. Really anything.
Rubber is great.
Plastic can´t stand the occasional solder drop and even worse, rare but possible soldering iron contact by accident.
Search for antistatic rubber, which is specially made for electronics lab use.
For a cheap disposable version, large ´piece of thick cardboard, think a fridge packing case or similar will do fine.
Avoid flimsy corrugated paper sold in rolls, moves/folds all over the place, you want somewhat stable surface.
