Make your own gasket. Toe tapper tub drain for a popular whirlpool tub became dried over the years and failed to hold water. The manufacturers gasket alone was not offered as a replacement part or too expensive. Sized the old gasket and cut new out from the sheet. Installed it to the toe tapper assembly. Did not work first time , cut second gasket larger diameter and ran hot water with the toe tapper open though the drain. Now it Sealed no problem , tested later with full tub, no leakage. Will keep rest of rubber sheet in case I need other gasket needs, doesn't take up much space.
The product is exactly what it says. 6x6 sheet of rubber. The only point to make clear about this product is that the tag is stapled directly to the sheet. This might be a problem for some, but it wasn't for my project.
If anyone owns a early 2000's Chevy Blazer, they will tell you that the sea of plastic that is the dash, doors, glove box and radio will squeak and rattle. I ordered a few of these rubber sheets and cut some to fit behind some panels, around speakers and around the glove box and every single rattle and squeak is now gone. Great product and yes, the rubber does stink but the smell wears away after a few days..
I'm using it in my no-dry-ice TEC Peltier electronically cooled "Nuclear Cloud Chamber". This is creating a seal between the cold plate (which is sitting on top of two Peltier cooler tiles) and a big old wine goblet. All of that sits on top of an Cooler Master 212X dual fan computer CPU cooler. Most of the aforementioned pieces are coupled with thermal paste. Power will come from an ATX computer powersupply I made into a bench top power unit. All of this is going on my 'Science & Optics' blogger...for no real reason other than I have more fun doing this than shoveling snow or mowing the lawn. The wine goblet is filled with 99% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol which gets supercooled and turns into a fog in the the glass goblet. Then you can see alpha, beta, gamma and muon tracks zipping through the fog: visible radiation! I have various radioactive sample sources, plus if you put no radioactive stuff in the chamber every 3 or 3 minutes you'll see a particle zing through and that'll be the result of a cosmic ray interaction: a muon! My other nuclear cloud chamber is MUCH simpler: an upside down aquarium resting on a metal plate that sits on top of a block of dry ice. I want to eventually bring this into work (I'm a librarian) and while the radioactive stuff is safe (unless you swallow it) the dry ice is just annoying to deal with after the awesomeness of it gets old: it's cold, melts (well, sublimates), will explode any container it gets sealed it, burns, little kids want to touch it...all not so great for a science demonstration. Plus the only place that sells it is the Walmart that's like 15 minute drive. With this design I just plug it into a wall outlet and dump in a little rubbing alcohol: bam! Coldness. Anyway, this rubber was REAL rubber. Good feel and that new car tire smell. I was able to easily cut it with a pair of scissors. The sheet was really "floppy" and could conform to curves if needed. You could easily roll this up and line the inside of a coffee mug or something. Not sure why you'd want to do that, but it'd take zero effort: nice and bendy. The only bad thing was that at the center of one edge was a retail hanger tag, the kind with the hole in it to hang off of metal rods in a store. It was STAPLED to the rubber sheet. Just a regular old small staple, and for my purposes it made no difference. Even if I were pulling a strong vacuum (which I'm not) the two staple holes would probably seal themselves up, plus they're at the extreme edge so it wouldn't matter anyway. Well, that's about all the comments I can muster on a boring old piece of rubber, lol. Michael Logusz
This was exactly as advertised. It a 1/16in x 6in x 6in sheet of rubber. Previous reviews stated that the tag was stapled to the product making that part of the sheet unusable. I'm happy to report this is no longer the case. The sheet now comes in a plastic bag as pictured with no Staples in the rubber sheet.
It is exactly as described. As most reviews noted, it does come with a label stapled to it, but that was not a problem for me. I used the sheet to replace the rubber feet on various computer peripherals that had lost them over the years. The rubber provides nice grip and bound with super glue easily. I just cut out the pieces I needed and glued them on. I just saved those devices from purgatory thanks to this rubber.
Useful for covering things from wetness (I bolted it as a flap over my outdoor garage door opening keypad). Plumbing uses, etc. Seems to be "real rubber", and it stinks like real rubber. Strong smelling. But pliable and great price.

I cut this into two strips and put them in the bottom of a drawer to keep my files from sliding and falling over. Works great for its purpose!

DIY material thickness is right for the application.

Versatile, good quality product
Many uses. Use on supercharger plumbing brackets to protect the finish on the pipes

Both types work great.
This stuff works well with everything. I use it on flashlights. I've bought both versions. Both are great.
