Re: Rubber(?) tubing used as wheel/roller traction material
Silicone is a pretty solid option if you're looking for grip and it's available from mcmaster up to 2.75" OD. There are some tricks using inflation or an evaporating liquid lubricant, like ethanol to slide it on. We're using Silicone over PVC with custom 500 hex plugs.
