you might try using some 1/32 inch thick polycarbonate (lexan), you can heat with a lighter to make the cup face.   The polycarbonate will not tear and should last several yrs.   You can find the stuff at micromark tools and other hobby stores.   It's used a lot on model airplanes.

The thin stuff is somewhat pliable but you may can soak it in hot water for minute and make it more pliable.

I have really wanted to try one of those jigs.

Big M, I dont think that lexan would work. I think that the blade has to be very pliable so that it lays down when you set the hook.

Look around the house at bottles. Windex,laundry soap,hand lotion, or what have you might work.
