[NHCOLL-L:3680] cellular silicone sponge gasket

[Andrea Weeks]

Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf source for cellular silicone  
sponge gasket tape?  Or a reliable and reasonably priced custom  
manufacturer for this material?

I am retrofitting herbarium cases with new gaskets following the  
directions found in 'Storage of Natural History Collections: Ideas  
and Practical Solutions' by Carolyn L. Rose, Amparo R. de Torres,  
editors.  I need gasket tape that is ca. 3 mm thick and 20 mm wide.  
However, I have only been able to find custom manufacturers for this  
material and would like to investigate less costly sources if possible.


Many thanks for any information,

Andrea Weeks
