a while ago, i bought a whole bunch of PE sheets.  later, i found out that
it wasn't agricultural grade, but rather construction grade...

      kevin,
               beware of call outs of PE grades like these...... many,many of
these "contruction" 'Ag" grades are reprocessed material( ie ground up
milk jugs mixed in with various density resins.and floor sweepings..).
many time it will look bumpy in the thicker grades say 1/16 and above.i
reccommend HDPE-in virgin grade only better yet is my fav UHMW P-
double the dielectric strenght of hdpe-at  900kv/cm!.... even at 2-3x cost
hdpe  it is still fairlycheap........if you have trouble finding or need
sources
i maybe be able to help.
virgin natural is the key-milky white  avoid colors,especially black.   
good luck
