I see that home depot sells a set of gaskrt rubber sheets. 2, 6" x 6" x 1/16" sheets for about $10. It certanly smells like rubber. Can I cut this with my 50Watt laser? IE is it save for the laser?

Can you cut it? Yes.
Is it safe? Yes.
Will you enjoy the smell? Not likely...

It is also very dirty. Be ready to clean your machine if you're cutting a lot of it.
