I am so tired of the crap my distributor sells. Does anyone know where I can find 1/4 and 1/8 inch sheets of quality rubber instead of the cheap foam crud they sell???
Thanks,Rob.

You can get cork/rubber combo at the local parts store (Car quest) in sheet form, works well for us.

Some distributors DO have quality gasket materials.
There are two main factors in quality sponge rubber gaskets.
1. Cell structure- open cell which collapses readily, and closed cell which maintains its resiliancy
2. Type of elastomer - must be a material not affected by common cleaning chemicals.
We use 1/4" material on our TM vac tank and portable gasket applications.
On some heat exchanger applications, we use a 1/8" Silicone rubber tape rated for 600° usage. It also lasts longer at lower temperatures.

Thanks JB. And Larry I did not mean to lump all disty's together. The gasket on my dump tank sub-filter on my WM's always leak. Also the gasket on my filter box always degrades quickly. Any suggestions???
Thanks,Rob.
