The "rubber" you are talking about sounds like what we call a "Hi Start" and this is heavy duty one

I don't know what one would cost in your area. You could make one yourself if you have access to a surgical supply store and can make your own parachute.
There is also a smaller version that might work and is much cheaper.

Making your own hi-start is easy if you can find the surgical tubing (usually available at rubber distributors). If you make your own hi-start, be sure to use the same diameter tubing as Bruce linked to (5/16 outside dia, 3/16 inside diameter - 7.9 mm X 4.8 mm, 1.6 mm wall thickness) Using larger diameter or thicker wall can allow the hi-start to pull the wings off your glider... Don't ask how I know..

Cheers!
