If someone wants to drill down and dig, I’m sure these are the guys:

A little deeper I found this…Is Butyl Rubber OK for our applications? If so,

The tiny url takes me to a page that asks for my zipcode - is that what you intended?

I looked through their catalog, and it’s not clear to me what would be a good substitute.  The standard is 4" OD, and 0.25" thick.

I called one vendor that makes silicone insulators for my company. They can make all we want for a $32,000 tooling set up fee and a contracted 60,000/year. I told him to wait and I would get back to him on that.

Don’t call me, I’ll call you.

How much for the 60k?

I stopped @ the tooling charge.

Usually a quote like that equates to “we don’t want to deal with it”. ;D

Yeah Tom, apparently it looks for resalers in your area for their products. Closest one to me is El Paso and that’s an hour away. I’m not in need of any at this point, just trying to nail down a supplier where prices may be reasonable.

[tschmidlin]

I’m not even sure what product I’m looking for though ;D

Me neither  :P  I guess if I was in the market for more(I’ bought 3 or 4 from Williams years ago), I’d take it to said O-Ring reseller and see if he could match it by actual physical characteristics. Looks like some of these HB shops got the info locked up real good being I’m sure they are making a tidy profit on them.

I might have to take a corny to one of the local suppliers some day, explain what I want, and see what they have.  If it’s a walk-in kind of place.

Tom,

this is what came up for your neck of the woods:

I have a friend that lives in Washington State and he cracked me up once when he told me the saying up there:

“If it moves shoot it, if it stays still, cut it down” 

[tschmidlin]

It must be storing a cookie on your computer or something, because it takes me to a generic page when I follow that link.  I’ll find a place though, when it becomes important enough.

Where in WA is your friend from?  I’m guessing it’s not the Seattle area, I’ve been here almost 15 years and I’ve never heard that saying.

Tom, he lives up in Elma.

Here’s the whole link to find the Oring product dealers:

I certainly hope it’s click-able.
