1/4'' Sheet Rubber in Aus?
G'day everyone,
Where and the hell would be able to find a smallish sheet of sheet rubber? I live in Brisbane and I've got absolutely no clue on where to start looking. I've checked Clark Rubber but they've only got foam what what I've been able to see...
Any help would be more then appreciated.
Mitcho.

You may ought to check your local auto parts supplier(or with a shop, they may have a chunk for ya'). I know I used to buy rubber gasket material all the time. Then again, I had the luxury of going to a place called Charleston Rubber and Gasket

I got a couple from bunnings, they seem pretty good, although I have not used them

I tried them, it was crap for me but I used a bike pump, if you use grease and an air compressor then it may work. (The toilet things that is...) I am getting a mouse pad soon and I'm going to try that.

Mouse pads are very porous, so I wouldn't advise that you use them.
I work in the construction trade.
Contact a roofing company in your area and inquire about rubber roofing material.
Rubber roofing companies have "pads" which are up to and thicker than 1/4" to 8mm thick for heavy foot-traffic areas on roofs. I have several pieces left over from jobs which are incredibly durable.

Nah it was because the rubber was too hard. As simple as that.Pyro Ninja wrote:Why was it crap, crap design?microman171 wrote:I tried them, it was crap for me but I used a bike pump, if you use grease and an air compressor then it may work.

I am going to try a mousepad anyway because I have had success from the neoprene lining of a pencil case. The mouse pad feels like the same stuff.

The rubber is actually quite soft and flexible,

My first piston gun i made "15mm piston gun" used mouse pad neoprene as my sealing faces on the pistons, it didn't work perfect, It worked but leaked alot.
F*#ked the quoting up
