Movement Trays 15mm

Any suggestions for commercially available suitable 15mm FoG movement trays for troops with magnetic bases, for those with metal bases, and those with wood or card bases? Preferably have some traction on the top and smooth enough to slide on the table or battle mat without getting caught on the surface texture, but not so smooth they get knocked around easily?

My guess at useful sizes would be 80mmx30/40/60mm and 40mmx60mm for Pikes.

Info and ideas appreciated.

All of my figures are on metal bases with magnets on the bottom and I am using paper steel affixed to thin basswood cut to the required size. I tad bit pricey, but by far the best solution for my figures.

The only place I have been able to find the stuff is from Renaissance Ink as it is darn hard to find in the states (they do ship quickly):

I have made trays for my Alexandrian pikemen and they work great.

I made them out of craft plywood, from the local store, and a self sticking flex magnet from the same store. I placed a small square piece of dowel rod on the back so I had something to push around without having to touch the base itself. All of my figures are based with the flex steel so the magnet works great.

As an added bonus the craft plywood is just high enough to get the Old Glory pikemen above most other troop types without looking to bad on the table. Helps to keep swords and lances from catching on the pikes.

I made 12 stand and 8 stand bases.
