A three-part laminated surface construction can be shaped and molded by hand and will retain that shape until the particular need is met, such as controlling the flow of liquids and resins, or establishing a protective cover. The surface construction includes a center layer of pliable hand-moldable sheet with pliable sheet outer layers secured over the hand-moldable sheet. The perimeter of the pliable outer layers are secured together. The pliable hand-moldable sheet can be provided with diagonal slots to form quadrants for folding around and protection from sharp objects. In one form cloth inserted rubber material is used for the outer layers. In one form, a strap with loop and hook fastener is provided to aid in securing the protective cover in place.
