    Megan; The problems you are having are exactly why urathane is used
    instead of rubber. urathane has a unique ability to flow under
    pressure than return to its original shape that is why it works. I
    know of no substitutes. Lee Marshal who owned Bonnie Doon has retired
    I think Rio has it now. You might be able to find a urathane supplier
    on line. Also if you are learning from scratch I would highly
    recommend Susan Kingsley's book Hydraulic die forming for
    metalsmiths.
