Is this stuff any good?

This stuff is only 1.5m thick, can't be too heavy. Would layering on top of polycarbonate with this be useful? Or would it just end up being little shreds of rubber everywhere?

I use this type of tape to insulate my 3d printer. I can't see it really being very effective armouring from spinners. It yields easily and would just shred.

Yeah, fair enough, figured there was probably a reason I'd not seen any pictures that looked to use it.
