<p class="MsoNormal">Hi again,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I should have clarified… we too use buna-n gaskets, and our last purchase was in 2017 from Manufactured Rubber Products (aka Philly Rubber). Unfortunately, their product page appears broken online, and they haven’t replied to both emails
and phone calls. If others have had recent luck getting in touch with them, do let me know!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do want to (eventually) switch to the O’Berk style jar. That will be a slow acquisition though. Thank you Andy for sending that supplier along – it’s nice to know of a tried-and-true supplier!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For others following this thread, another member reach out and recommended Buna-n rubber gaskets from either Potomac Rubber Company (301-336-7400) or Raleigh Rubber and Gasket (919-781-6817).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please keep the recommendations coming! Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have been using buna-n durometer gaskets for our Le Parfait and other gasketed jars for some time now. We order from Manufactured Rubber Products in Philadelphia (not sure if this is the same company you referenced) but must admit that
we have not ordered in some time (we still have a large supply of various sizes). We use these to replace the regular red rubber gaskets that do not hold up under alcohol conditions. They function great even though we are slowly but surely moving away from
gasketed jars to jars purchased from O’Berk - <a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.oberk.com%2fcontainers%2fglass%2fglass-jar&c=E,1,BDWkaYNQk70ebHPFLGtLp7E8wbxvHaLSXZ6SQ1k_hNPyfkX-KRCPDq4UMKWdBmgz8VHXXSZRHW_MQiN0LdjKF1BozppYtq1iYCEXlGRg0jJ44mfx&typo=1">
https://www.oberk.com/containers/glass/glass-jar</a>. We order 8oz, 16oz, 32oz, 64oz, half gallon and gallon jars with polypropylene/polyethylene lids as attached.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The herpetology section is looking for a reliable supplier for silicone based gaskets. We use various sized glass Le Parfait jars to house our wet (70% ethanol) specimens. We previously purchased from Philly Rubber, but I have not received
any replies to my recent inquiries. I would be extremely grateful for any recommendations for reasonably priced, reliable gasket suppliers!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance! Responses can also be sent off-list.<o:p></o:p></p>
