I'm going to make my own pressure tester for engine blocks and heads. They use a 1/8" thick neoprene sheet glued to a metal plate. The neoprene needs to be soft enough to seal against the surface of the part and hard enough to withstand 80-90psi. without blowing out. Any help on what durometer I should get?
Thanks

the most useful chart I've seen

when i started doing what i do (machine repair/maint in a medium sized mfg. facility)
i went through the mcmaster carr catologe one page at a time (took a very long time with all those pictures)
critical part of becoming the specimen you have before you today
everyone should do it
