Lots of very cool rubber on the streets and highways.
Road turkeys are the rubber that slings of Recaps .............. lots of
them within 5 miles of your house.
Truck mud flaps sometimes are very good recycled rubber.
There are some nifty rubber floor pads at most hardware stores if you can
use something with a soft core.
Be warned! Stay away from Industrial Rubber supply houses, they'll ask
you to pay about $2.00 to $6.00 for a 6x6x1/2" piece of flat rubber.
