      The 8'x 8' would work also as a small kitchen ground cloth.

      Fiberglass though, I'm a welder and have used these, right before throwing them in the trash.
      
      
      
      1) you can easily burn a hole in them,
      
      2) fiberglass gets in your skin, just like insulation for a house, and
      
      3) the ones I initially purchased from General Air welding supply in Denver were way higher quality than Garbage Freight, handle them once and itch for the day / night etc.
      
      
      
      For 50 bucks more, get the Nomex. It's what Firefighters Bunker gear and wildland turnout gear is made of. Yes, you can eventually burn thru anything, but the Nomex is much more burn resistant than fiberglass, and it doesn't leave itchy glass slivers in your skin.
