Do you have some sort of clandestine way to spirit McMaster Car bits across the 49th parallel without upsetting the pentagon? The fallout from my last order sounded like it was getting close qualifying for a one way trip to Guantanamo Bay.

They are definitely tricky to buy from.
eBay has lots of polyurethane in rod form and tubing, short pieces etc.
All different durometers.
80 on the Shore A scale is supposed to be ideal for this application.
Time will tell!
