linoleum rugs



This isn't home repair, it's decoration, I suppose, but it has to do
with flooring.

I have three messy little kids and the dinner table sits on hw floors
we're about to have refinished. I've been thinking of making a "rug"
out of linoleum to sit under it and keep the ketchup and whatnot off
the floor. One flooring guy I talked to said it won't work, the edges
will curl, which I guess I buy.

OTOH years ago, there were linoleum rugs, and they appear to be
antiques of a sort. There are a couple for sale on ebay right now. So
obviously there is a way to do this. My question is, has anyone tried
it and are there any tricks? They make one in this home and garden
channel spot,

It appears they didn't do anything special, just lay it on the floor.
Anyone have personal experience with this?

(Note that when I say "linoleum", I don't mean "vinyl")

Thanks
