Silicon / heat-resistant mats for under your UTH?

I am starting to put together the shopping list for a larger cage enclosure that will have a sizable UTH underneath, resting on a cabinet of sorts. Any recommendations on a thin, silicone (or similar material) mat for putting between the UTH and the top surface of the cabinet? Looking for something that won't make the cage wobble or tilt...

You shouldn't need Something like that. You hook the uth to the bottom of the cage and
Then you need to create at least. A 1/4" air gap under the uth to allow it to work properly. A lot of people. Set their vivs on bottle caps or things close to that size.

Ah that's a great idea, thanks! We'll get a sixer to get some caps and celebrate.
