What makes a good cushion rubber? You hear people say Artemis but Diamond says to only use it on there 9' and on 7 and 8 to use there black cushion rubber. You read where Oldhausen says there rubber is 100% gum rubber and all the others are 70 - 75 % with the rest fillers. Is there such a thing as 100% gum rubber. Most people talk about profiles on here but no one ask what makes a good rail rubber and how to find out what the properites are of the rubber.
I just redid a American Hearatage and the rubbers were horrendous. My supplier tells me there is no such thing as 100% gum rubber rails and the rails they use are one of the best you can buy. I used them and they worked fine. But I would still like to know what to look for when purchasing.
Thanks.
