Default Heat vulcanizing rubber

I recently( within the last few days) purchased a supply of heat vulcanizing rubber ( 20min @ 280 degrees F) and way more than I need due to the min purchase required. I'm looking to sell some at a reasonable price. $7.00 / pound ( less than I paid with shipping ) postage included anywher within the US. It has a shelf life of 6 months at room temps however you can extend that to years if you freeze it. It isn't easy to find nor purchase in small quantities.

This rubber is the same used for full mold retreading of truck tires so it's tough. It looks like licorice in the raw form. You need a heatable form that will take the
heat of vulcanization and that's really it. You are only limited by your imagination as to what you can do with it.

This offer doesn't extend to teaching people how to use it; you either do or don't. I've used it for years to make roadwheel tires for my Panthers in particular. I've recently acquired some new tire forms and need to crank up my tire production which prompted my purchase. I have enough freezer capacity to freeze it all but
I thought it would be nice to share this so that others could at least experiment with it at realtively low cost. Even at the price /pound I indicated the price point blows
the doors off of Devcon poly urethane costs and there is no uncertainty of composition due to mixing inconsistencies.

While I don't expect a crush to get it it will be first come first served. When I reach the limit of what I can sell that's it. Don't reply here if you want it but rather send me
a PM. No jibes, jabs or endless questions on how to use it. You can see one way I used it on my website.

If the powers that be want to move this post go for it.
