Climbing shoe rubber

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to purchase a small amount of climbing shoe rubber? I saw rock n resole sells 3 ft x 3 ft sheets of C4 rubber, but I was hoping I could get a smaller amount to start. Yes I'm trying to resole my own shoes, yes I know its a bad idea, but I'm broke and willing to try.

I am not sure how this prices out compared to the Rock and Resole price, but MTN Tools sells resole kits that come with everything:

Also i’ll say that home resoling is hard having tried it a few times in a few ways, good luck!

Pretty sure 5.10 stopped making those kits.

I think these are kits packed by MTN Tools themselves based off of the packaging and branding in the image but it’s worth emailing them and asking. I do believe 5.10 stopped making them years ago. 

Hey either way if they have them for sale it’s rubber and all the fixings for a good price.
