I'm fairly sure that the problem is that the rubber you bought was probably
VERY OLD. New in box, but made in the 1970's or something and therefore no
good. It has to have been newly manufactured, and for some stuff, no one is
making it, so it's all old stock.

The polyurethane I think doesn't rot like that to begin with, besides being
decades younger probably doesn't hurt.
