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).

MCMASTER!

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

I think they ship international now.

Well is there anywhere else you can get tought rubber?

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.

Maybe plunger rubber it has been used before.

Plunger rubber?

diaphram from a argon regulator

Oh and where do yuo buy argon regulators? I am hoping for the rubber to be relatively cheap.

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.

Tire patches they must be tough my dad works for Honda I will ask him.
M y dad said they are pretty thin what I need is rubber like 2mm thick really tough and soft to seal on things.

What about from a hockey puck?

Not soft enough need it to seal on a barrel.
EDIT I found a broken exersize ball in my parents room you would be surprized how tought that stuff is but it doesn't stand up to a razor blade.
