That's similar to what I used in replacing my seal some years ago. I found some approximately 1" thick pads of foam rubber at a fabric store closeout. Maybe 1x2 foot pads with several in a package. I just cut 2 foot strips maybe 2" or less wide then doubled them up. Inserted the 2 foot sections as I worked across and down. None of them have moved around since then.
By the way it was a marine grade upholstery fabric with UV protection, also bought at the same fabric closeout, that I used to replace the original bag outer skin.
