I need to know where to get really tough rubber that will still seal on a barrel (aka soft and strong) for a secret project (makes freaky background noise).
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

For god's sake change your avatar... It's freaking my little christian raised soul out.. :( :? :shock: :x :?: :?: :?: :!: :!: :!: :arrow: :arrow:

Anyway, try visiting some garages, they probably have the stuff you're looking for.(ask for old... tires.. yup... that's pretty tough stuff)

Frank, McMaster has shipped international for a long time. The problem is they do not want to deal with regulations exporting to Canada, so they only allow Canadian orders from a select few long established customers.

Check around at your local dollar stores. Many things are made from various types of rubber.

Silicone cookware, drain plugs, tire patches, pencil erasers, craft cutting mats, some cutting boards, drain trays for dish racks, etc.
