Hopefully it is OK to ask this here, this was the first forum I found that it might be appropriate to ask this here.
Trying to replicate a hard to find and possibly no longer in production cast rubber part.
The original material would have been most likely been clear, as the product has been avaiable in a myriad of colors over the years and my suspicion is that they would have used the same material for all.
The product is b/w 25 and 30 durometer, and will absorb water and get harder when it does (this is not a desired feature, just thought it might help ID). The product I'm working from has been colored solid black, which at one point I was told was "carbon black". The product is not super UV resistant and breaks down over time.
The product also has a plastic backer plate that was also pour cast and is permanently attached to the rubber.
Sorry if I'm being too vague, this is far from my wheelhouse.
