I actually ordered a lot of Sheets of various rubbers from them, never
got the right one, not to say they didn't have it. Sure wish I could
take a tour of the place, and see what it is, then order it. maybe I'll
take another stab at it, or two.......

As a side note, I had an engraving application that had about 50 pockets
to hold small tags. In the bottom of those holes were a Stiff grade of
Volara foam ( closed cell white stuff like found in modern lifevests and
under padded vinyl tops) and of course a vacuum port. The problem that
arose is that you could not get all 50 of those rascals to suck down
easily, and you could not touch them because they were an extremely well
polished level of Stainless and your fingers always left a mark, even
with white gloves.... The answer was in some of Mcmasters rubber
sheets.... Throw a sheet of latex rubber over the whole table of parts,
flip on the vacuum, the parts sucked down, and the sheet could be removed.

Thanks to all who contributed, and if you really find "IT", at the not
so greedy prices, Please let me know !
