That sounds pretty suspect. The correct rubber is well known and 
universally used. If someone made some bad ones, they probably made 
thousands of them. You'd have thought this would have been in the

I wonder if it's possible that he got some oil in them, as they are 
NOT compatable with petroleum products.
