Will it help if the neoprene is more rough (causes more friction when I rub my finger against it)?

if the neoprene has a rough side and a smooth side, the smooth side should be the one which touches the breech.

Aluminium, but I've had good results simply wrapping masking tape around the barrel and gluing the whole thing with araldite:

800 psi i wouldn't have thought a coax could do that but doesn't it already need a very rigid material for the chamber

It's all about the ratio of diameter to wall thickness. An 80mm brass pipe with 0.5mm walls will bulge like a balloon if you put 800 psi into it, and 8mm brass pìpe with the same wall thickness on the other hand will handle it safely, having a diameter:wall thickness ration ten times higher.

I'm sorry, masking tape is really easy... if that is too much for you then maybe you shouldn't be making it...
