It was recommended for a benchtop.
Should I glue it down? It will be on MDF and bounces a bit just laying there. I
might need to get it off someday to replace it.
Is there any reason to finish this stuff. I was going to give it a coat of
Briwax and that's about it.


I would not either glue or screw this material down.

Might consider attaching some fiddles out of something like 1x3 material
to the sides of the bench that traps the material.

Simple to replace when ever necessary.

What about hot glue? You can iron it on (if you're really patient).
